Gripping story
Loved everything about this book. The story drew me in and held my attention throughout. The narration was excellent. Looking forward to reading more from this talented author.

Good
It was good to learn about Morton and Julie's first meeting. I like to know the background of the characters of the books I love to read.

A much more engaging read than the title suggests
I really enjoyed this book. It felt like it could be one of a series and I liked the protagonist and his interesting job as a genealogist. The narrative was tight and the story held together well. If there were a sequel I would read it.
I also enjoyed the readers voice who brought the different characters to life.

Is that it?
Extremely underwhelming - I assumed it was just coming to the end of the first act when it finished.
Plot: we meet 'forensic' genealogist in the middle of a job compiling a family tree. He meets a girl and likes her. He finishes the job with a slightly unexpected result.
This does not constitute a book, although it's helpful if you need exhaustive detail about the workings of the libraries and desk layout of East Sussex libraries and how to work a microfilm machine.
