Summary
From acclaimed author Steve Robinson comes a thrilling new Jefferson Tayte mystery.
When genealogist Jefferson Tayte is hired to prove the identity of a black sheep in his client’s family tree, he unwillingly finds himself drawn into a murder investigation with nothing more to go on than a 150-year-old letter and a connection to a legendary ruby that has been missing for generations.
As more letters are mysteriously left for him, Tayte becomes immersed in a centuries-old tale of greed, murder and forbidden love that takes his research from the wilds of the Scottish Highlands to the colour and heat of colonial India.
A dark secret is buried in Jaipur, steeped in treachery and scandal. But why is it having such deadly repercussions in the present? Can Tayte find the ruby and prevent the past from repeating itself before it’s too late?
This is the seventh book in the Jefferson Tayte Genealogical Mystery series but it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story.

welcomed return
It's like Tate has not been away. The story and theme are as the previous 6 books. The story as usual runs simultaneously with the past. The story keeps you gripped from the start with plenty of twists. Must mention the narration is wonderful as usual, really bringing the story to life.

Brilliant book all round !
The plot line is amazing, the characters are great and the story is told in both the past and present which Mar Robinson pulls off seamlessly. I was hooked from the start of this book and there are enough twists and turns to keep you busy. It was also beautifully narrated and with just the right amount of an accent to play each part well. I have read The JT novels from book one and eagerly await each new novel every year, Steve Robinson doesn’t let you down and each novel reaches new heights.. Letters from the Dead is of such a high standard that it’s hard to see where Mr Robinson will go from here, he is a skilled storyteller and his talent is something I am only too happy to enjoy every year with the release of each new novel. Congratulations Mr Robinson on yet another amazing novel !

what's to say? I am a huge fan of Steve Robinson, i have listened to them all. I think these stories are just begging to be made into TV films.
if you are at all interested in genealogy then you will love these books.
