Book 3 in story of Jefferson Tayte geneaology mysteries. This involves trying to discover why his good friend was murdered. His friend was trying the real heir of Queen Anne to prove that the current heir is an imposter. He is and Kate, whom he was introduced to by his murdered friend, are trying to complete his friend?s project. They become the targets of the people who murdered his friend,Marcus. A very fast-paced story. A fun read.

Lots of genealogical research mixed with substantial mayhem. Jefferson survives and resolves the problem but leaves some nice threads for future books in this quite good series. ( )

Exciting. :) I do wish the author had finished the investigation though. ( )

The third in the Jefferson Tayte series takes a slightly different tack to usual, in that there is no interwoven historical tale, just the modern story of Tayte trying to unravel the mystery. When his friend is killed, Tayte steps in to finish the job he was working on, uncovering a modern-day Jacobite plot. The unravelling of the clues is interesting, but Tayte is still, overall, still an annoying character. For an allegedly overweight 40-year-old, he seems able to dodge pursuers, and bullets, with remarkable athleticism, brushing off significant injuries with not so much as a second glance. ( )

Once again I was led on an adventure through the streets of London and running for my life. Well, I may not have been really there but I did find myself reading faster during the chase scenes and my heart was beating like mad. Of course the ending leaves you with a little tid bit of what the next book is going to be about. Which is going to drive me crazy until I can can my hand on it. ( )
