Genealogical novels on offer on Kindle

[Jool]

I'm waiting for a price drop too 

[Clarkey500]

I know these books have been out a while, but I've never got round to reading any.

I've ordered myself a few from different authors to give them a go after reading this thread.

The Marriage Certificate - Stephen Molyneux
Family Secrets - Beth Farrar
Hiding the Past - Nathan Dylan Goodwin
Thee Times Removed - M. K. Jones

Any suggestions with which to start with?

[Roobarb]

Hiding the past might be a good one to start with, then if you like it you can cary on with that series, they often come up at 99p on Kindle.

I liked The Marriage Certificate when I eventually read it. I sent for a secondhand paperback copy during the lockdown as I couldn't seem to find it on Kindle. When I started reading it I found that a previous owner had written lots of pencil notes in the margins and at the back of the book. It was really spoiling my enjoyment so I went through and rubbed them all out before continuing. Quite some time after that, maybe a year or more, I was looking through my Kindle purchases for something else and found that I'd actually bought it years before! 
I've also read and enjoyed The Death Certificate by the same author.

I've a feeling I've read something by MK Jones but can't remember what. Not sure if I've read anything by Beth Farrar.

Thank you! Nathan is the only one I had heard of - so I think it would make sense to start with him.

This won't be until early January as I haven't finished my current book yet.

Oh dear! That reminds me of a book I got when I was 9 or 10 with some 'interesting' annotations to the pictures within!

Hiding the past is a good one to start with. It's the first one in the Morton Farrier series and although each book has a self contained story there is a background story which runs through the series so it's good to read them in order.  I also enjoy the Jayne Sinclair Genealogical books by M J Lee
Happy reading!

I agree with Roobarb and Chrissie, Hiding The Past is a good one to start with.  It was the first Nathan Dylan Goodwin book I read and it got me hooked on the Morton Farrier series.

I haven't read The Marriage Certificate by Stephen Molyneux, but my Kindle tells me I have partially read one of his other books, The Death Certificate.  I seem to remember I was enjoying it but must have got distracted by another book, I must get back to it.

I haven't read anything by Beth Farrar or M. K. Jones.

If you enjoy the Morton Farrier series I think you will also like the Jefferson Tayte series by Steve Robinson.

Thank you, both. I think Hiding the Past must be the one to start with.

Someone got me the paper back version of Hiding The Past for Christmas.  I have never read anything by this author before and I must say I am really enjoying it. 
I bet a lot of us on here would give our eye teeth to be a 'forensic genealogist'.
