Thanks for watching!
I have read only three of Goodwin's Morton Farrier Series. They have all engaged me. What keeps me coming back is his inclusion of sound genealogical research. Even though I live in the US I have found research tips in all of what I've read.
ReplyDeleteYou can not imagine my excitement regarding The Chester Creek Murders. I am a huge fan of cold case mysteries and the use of genetic genealogy to solve crimes. Add that this first in a series takes place in Salt Lake City, features a Detective with unsolved murders who contacts Venator, an investigative genetic company; I bought the book immediately. Life has been getting in the way but I'm almost done. The detail Maddie, Madison-Scott-Barnhart and her team at Venator use to build several generation trees is phenomenal. Excellent genealogical research without reading like a textbook. I will be referring back to the methodology of this case to find the serial killer. I'll also be back to watch the discussion here after I finish the book.
I agree with your assessment of Nathan's books. Thank you for your comments. I wwill pass them along for Nathan to read. Thanks for watching and taking the time to post your thoughts.
