After reading Nathan Dylan Goodwin's Hiding the Past, a genealogical mystery novel, earlier this year I wondered whether there were other authors who were writing genealogical mysteries. I thought that Goodwin may have created this mystery sub-genre. However, I have since located additional authors who write stories in this mystery sub-genre.
Dan Waddell's first novel, The Blood Detective, is one of them. M. J. Lee writes the Jayne Sinclair Geneological Mystery Series. The Irish Inheritance is the first of six book to be published so far in the series. Susan Finlay writes the Tangled Roots Historical Mystery Series. There are three books in the series to day and they include Bloodlines, Barbed Wire and Breadcrumbs and Bombs. GG Vandergrift is writing the Alex and Bridge Geneological Mysteries. Cynthia Raleigh writes the Pirri Seamore Mystery Series which includes Drawing the Past, Poison Branches and Buried Roots. Finally, Steve Robinson is writing the Jefferson Tayte geneologist series which currently has 6 books published to date.
I am exited to locate these new to me authors. Forensic geneology is now one of my favorite mystery sub-genres and I am looking forward to reading these six authors.
