In the Blood reminds me of the Robert Goddard books I have read. They are all excellent. They are real page turners, but you have to control yourself or you lose the plot. I've got several lined up but I don't want to read them too soon.  Without giving anything away, the first one I read really had me hooked. You just couldn't tell who were the goodies and who were the baddies as he kept playing with your understanding of the plot.

Jool - I mentioned the 1st book to my dear husband this morning. He has downloaded it to his kindle. As I don't have one and will have to wait until he has finished I have spent the vast sum of £4.99 and ordered it in paperback from Amazon - delivery tomorrow. Can't wait. :)

Well my birthday is in October so the book can be his present to me. ;D

The man himself has just interrupted my typing to inform me that he is enjoying reading it. He is in no way interested in genealogy.

Thanks for letting me know that the 7th one is set in the Scottish Highlands. I am sure that we will both enjoy reading them all.

I have all and read the first 5 of Steve Robinson's books and think they're all fantastic. I've just read that there's a new book out by him in December so that'll be a nice Christmas present for me.

Another very good genealogy writer is Dan Waddell. I read his first two books about a decade ago and see he, too, has a new novel out.

I have read all of Steve Robinson's books and have read all of the ones by Nathan Dylan Goodwin except his latest - I'm waiting for a price reduction! I really like Nathan D.G's books, in fact I think I prefer them to those by Steve Robinson.

I've just ploughed my way through one called The Vanished Child by MJ Lee - my advice on this would be don't bother to read it.  ::)
Bell, Salter, Street - Devon, Middlesbrough.
Lickess- North Yorkshire, Middlesbrough.
Etherington - North Yorks and Durham.
Barker- North Yorks
Crooks- Durham
Forster- North Yorks/Durham
Newsam, Pattison, Proud - North Yorks.
Timothy, Griffiths, Jones - South Wales

Steve Robinson’s book is due out 3rd December and called The Penmaker’s Wife - according to Fantastic Fiction website. A good place to got to for information on upcoming publications as well as past.
