Murder Once Removed (2019)
(Ancestry Detective, book 1)
S C Perkins
"Take an original cold case, a savvy 'ancestry' detective, and a compelling new voice in cozy mysteries, and you have a home run from the talented pen of S.C. Perkins. From the first heart stopping line to the final conclusion, MURDER ONCE REMOVED is a clever page-turner. Tracing family lines can certainly be deadly--and oh, so much fun!"
