About this listen

July 8, 1921. Ireland. A British Officer is shot dead on a remote hillside south of Dublin.

November 22, 2015. United Kingdom. Former police detective Jayne Sinclair, now working as a genealogical investigator, receives a phone call from an adopted American billionaire asking her to discover the identity of his real father.

How are the two events linked? Jayne Sinclair has only three clues to help her: a photocopied birth certificate, a stolen book, and an old photograph. And it soon becomes apparent somebody else is on the trail of the mystery: a killer who will stop at nothing to prevent Jayne discovering the secret hidden in the past.

I love anything to do with ancestry/genealogy so was delighted to find this book. The mystery bit of the book was good but other parts of the storyline were cringe worthy.
The narrator was something else, almost drove me insane, I would never listen to another book she has narrated.
This could have been a good book but for the narration and the un-necessary farcicle bits.

Could have been better

Was a great story if you ignore the lazy stereotypes. The narration and bad accents however grated all the way through.

Great story, not a great narration unfortunately

I enjoyed the unique angle of a genealogical investigator... and the two time frames running alongside. I didn't enjoy the narrator at all... her voice was grating and the rise and fall of her voice annoying. It detracted a lot from the story. I also didn't enjoy the character, explosive specialist who f...d (swore) incessantly... was such a brief period in the book, but added no value at all, and was totally unnecessary.

A fascinating angle to detective fiction.
