Story
In November 1987, a young couple on an overnight trip to Seattle vanished without a trace. A week later, the bodies of Tanya Van Cuylenborg and her boyfriend Jay Cook were found in rural Washington. It was a brutal crime, and it was the perfect crime: With few clues and no witnesses, an international manhunt turned up empty, and the sensational case that shocked the Pacific Northwest gradually slipped from the headlines.

Publisher's Summary
From acclaimed British author Nathan Dylan Goodwin comes this exciting new genealogical crime mystery, featuring the redoubtable forensic genealogist, Morton Farrier.
When Morton is called upon by Ray Mercer to investigate the 1911 disappearance of his great aunt, a housemaid working in a large Edwardian country house, he has no idea of the perilous journey into the past that he is about to make. Morton must use his not inconsiderable genealogical skills to solve the mystery of Mary Mercer’s disappearance, in the face of the dangers posed by those others who are determined to end his investigation at any cost.
This is the second book in the Morton Farrier genealogical crime mystery series, although it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story.

Intriguing genealogical research
This book appeals to two of my passions, genealogical research and historical fiction. I love the way Nathan Dylan Goodwin moves between modern genealogical research and life in past generations to weave an intriguing story.

Abundant plethoras
Loved the narrator, so gentle and relaxing. Story fascinating, too. But it felt like a self publish at times...the use of the word plethora was excessive.
