About this listen

A portrait painting is stolen from a London home. Shortly afterwards, the owner, Nat, calls on genealogist Jefferson Tayte for his help. She believes the subject of the painting, a young girl called Jess, is a past relative and wants to learn more about her. The problem is that Nat's research has hit a brick wall - Jess appears to have vanished from the slums of Victorian London soon after the portrait was painted.

When Tayte learns that the theft is connected with a recent murder, he's right to be wary, but solving crimes through genealogical research is what he does best. He quickly becomes intrigued by the girl in the painting and agrees to help. What became of her? Who stole the painting, and why would they kill for it all these years later?

As Tayte and Nat go in search of the answers, can they solve the mystery and bring the murderer to justice? Or will they become the killer's next victims?

Love the Jefferson Tate series but this book was really too short, so the characterisation and plot seemed rushed and superficial. Not like the normal high quality, and therefore not as enjoyable as the rest of the series.

Waaaay too short!!

I love the series of these books. Being a family historian I like the parallel stories across generations. A really good listen from beginning to end well told and well written.
