Underdeveloped Storyline
I liked the premise of the story and enjoy a genealogical mystery/thriller. However, this book left me underwhelmed. I felt the author could have pulled us in better by further developing the characters and storyline.

A tragedy wrapped up in a romance
Morton and Juliet meet in this novella and the story of their meeting is sweet and modern and reveals much about each of their personalities. The other story in this book is swathed in mystery, supposition and tragedy.
Spoiler alert do not read if you don’t want info that will be a spoiler.
The interesting thing is that the book ends with no solution of the mystery, merely Morton’s thoughts on possible ends. You are left to draw your own conclusions which is both enticing and in my mind very non-North American as we tend to like things tied up in a bow and over explained often. I actually live this about the book and it draws you nicely into the series, which I also love. It’s a terrific series and well worth listening to.

Is that it?
Extremely underwhelming - I assumed it was just coming to the end of the first act when it finished.
Plot: we meet 'forensic' genealogist in the middle of a job compiling a family tree. He meets a girl and likes her. He finishes the job with a slightly unexpected result.
This does not constitute a book, although it's helpful if you need exhaustive detail about the workings of the libraries and desk layout of East Sussex libraries and how to work a microfilm machine.

I really enjoyed this book. It felt like it could be one of a series and I liked the protagonist and his interesting job as a genealogist. The narrative was tight and the story held together well. If there were a sequel I would read it.
I also enjoyed the readers voice who brought the different characters to life.
