NEW Jefferson Tayte Genealogical Mystery Out Now!

The Girl in the Painting, my brand new Jefferson Tayte Genealogical Mystery, is now available for Kindle and in paperback.

I'm very pleased to announce that my new Jefferson Tayte book is now available for you to read. It's been a couple of years since the release of Letters from the Dead, currently the last book in the main series. For those who have been following JT's adventures in solving serious crime through genealogy, The Girl in the Painting follows on. It has, however, also been written with new readers to the series in mind, so it can be enjoyed equally as an introduction to JT and the main series without spoiling any of the storylines in those books.

Whether you're discovering for the first time just how exciting genealogical crime mysteries can be, or are a die-hard fan of the sub-genre and have read all the other JT books so far, I hope you enjoy the story I've created for you. And if you have read the main series and have been patiently waiting for a new JT book to be released, I very much  hope you enjoy catching up with JT again as much as I have.

You can discover more and order your copy from Amazon here.

From the back cover:

A stand-alone JEFFERSON TAYTE novella from the author of the million-copy bestselling Jefferson Tayte Genealogical Mysteries. 

A portrait painting is stolen from a London home. Shortly afterwards, the owner, Nat, calls on genealogist Jefferson Tayte for his help. She believes the subject of the painting, a young girl called Jess, is a past relative and wants to learn more about her. The problem is that Nat's research has hit a brick wall - Jess appears to have vanished from the slums of Victorian London soon after the portrait was painted.

When Tayte learns that the theft is connected with a recent murder, he's right to be wary, but solving crimes through genealogical research is what he does best. He quickly becomes intrigued by the girl in the painting and agrees to help. What became of her? Who stole the painting, and why would they kill for it all these years later?

As Tayte and Nat go in search of the answers, can they solve the mystery and bring the murderer to justice? Or will they become the killer's next victims?
