![]() ![]() ![]() There’s lots about the countryside, Cornish history, wreckers and smugglers.įor more about the Jefferson Tayte series, crime novels with a genealogical twist, click here for Steve Robinson’s website. It’s an intriguing mixture of history, mystery, genealogy, set in Cornwall which is a beautiful backdrop. But who stands to gain from a mystery 200 years old, and which Cornish locals can JT trust?Īt times I wished there was a cast list at the front of the book as I got a little confused between the family connections, but as that is what JT was researching I guess it was inevitable. JT’s search, initially for documents, suddenly becomes dangerous when local woman Amy discovers a wooden box. The story weaves back and forth between the two, in fact I enjoyed reading the eighteenth century strand and would have liked more of the Fairbornes’ story. There are two parallel timelines, the ship voyage in 1783 and JT’s trip to England set in the present day. His assignment – to uncover the truth of what happened to a family who set sail from Boston to England in August 1783 – takes him across the Atlantic to Cornwall. I warmed to JT quickly, he’s not a typical hero and seems very real. FREE for Kindle: IN THE BLOOD by Steve Robinson, a gripping mystery novel about a family historian attempting to unlock a dark secret from the past. Steve Robinson is a new author for me and this is the first in his series of novels about American genealogist Jefferson Tayte. ![]()
