The Jefferson Tayte Genealogical Mystery series by Steve Robinson follows Jefferson Tayte, an American genealogist with a gift for tracing family lines. Each book sends Tayte to a different historical setting — England, Germany, or elsewhere in Europe — where a client’s family tree hides dark secrets.
Starting with In the Blood (2011), the series combines present-day investigation with historical narrative as Tayte pieces together clues from centuries past. The books blend mystery with real historical periods, including the English Civil War, Victorian England, and World War II.
