To the Grave -a review of a new book that I have read on my kindle.

Having enjoyed the previous book “In the Blood” I was eagerly anticipating this latest instalment of Jefferson Tayte’s story.  We find out a little more about him, but once more the story is about his genealogical research for one of his clients.  This time his research is more recent being mainly concerned with events that happened during World War II and specifically with one family – the Lasseters. 
The story is told in part from the events of WWII and part in the present but this is not a problem as the stories unfolded giving you just a little more information at a time.  At one point I didn’t want to carry on reading because I felt sure that something bad was going to happen to Mena Lasseter, but I had to keep on reading to find out what did happen.
Once again Steve Robinson has written a book that was un-put-downable, one that I thoroughly enjoyed reading, and I am now waiting for the next books – hopefully there will be many more with the cuddly JT.
Although genealogy and family history research plays a part in this book you do not have to be clued up on all the details of records and researching as Steve leads you through JT’s research - it is the stories of the people that is the important thing.
As a family historian myself I enjoyed the research detailed in both books, but this one was less interesting to me as my research has not included any military or adoption records.  Given the murder and mayhem that occurred when JT was researching perhaps I ought to be glad about that!
