Jefferson Tayte Genealogical Mystery, Book 5

By: Steve Robinson

Narrated by: Simon Vance

Jefferson Tayte is good at finding people who don't want to be found. For years he has followed faint genealogical trails to reunite families - and uncover long-hidden secrets. But Tayte is a loner, a man with no ties of his own; his true identity is the most elusive case of his career.

But that could all be about to change. Now Tayte has in his possession the beginnings of a new trail - clues his late mentor had started to gather - that might at last lead to his own family. With Professor Jean Summer, his partner in genealogical sleuthing, he travels to Munich to pick up the scent. But the hunt takes them deep into dangerous territory: the sinister secrets of World War II Germany, and those who must keep them buried at any cost.

When their investigations threaten to undermine a fascist organisation, Tayte and Summer know time is running out. Can they find their way to the dark heart of a deadly history before they become its latest victims?

Too Much Drama

Perhaps those in search of melodrama will enjoy those sections of the book. I was looking for something a bit less dramatic. The story line was interesting but not sure the overly dramatic sections were necessary.

Always GOOD stories

The story line was very, very interesting and easy to follow. Lots of turns and twists that were surprising and really added so much to the book. The narrator was very good. Sometimes when people try to do a foreign accent it is hard to understand, but Simon Vance did a good job.

wow

I stayed up all night to get to end but worth it, devastating yes, but very satisfying

Sick of Nazi stories

I put off reading this book in the series because I'm sick of Nazi stories, but I wanted to find out about Tayt's origin/family tree that has been a theme throughout the series. I set it at 1.5 speed to get thru it and fast forwarded the sicko parts. This is a storyline done too many times, don't waste a credit, just stay curious.

More mystery and family history...

Jefferson Tayte seems like a friend after reading the books in this series. This one is more personal for Tayte. Another mystery from a great storyteller. Mr. Robinson will not disappoint anyone with this one. Simon Vance again brings the characters to life with his excellent narrative skills. Another high recommendation!
