Customer Reviews

Unique and fascinating mystery; wonderful who-dun-it

I greatly enjoyed this book. The plot involves both genealogy and genetics - and I didn't have a clue who the killer was. This was a marvelous and very different who-dun-it; highly unique, and very enjoyable. I strongly recommend it.

Great mystery by a professional genealogist.

I read this book when it was first published. As a true mystery fan (and amateur genealogist) I was not expecting such a puzzler. I can usually figure out 'whodunit' before the final few pages 80% of the time. This one kept me guessing all the way. I wish Gene Stratton would write several more of these Mort Sinclair mysteries.

Classical mystery story for people enjoying problem-solving

KILLING COUSINS by Gene Stratton, published by Ancestry, Inc. is a classical Agatha Christie-style tale brimming over with suspects and clues (Kirkus Service called it "a prime example of the bygone, ever-so-civilized mystery"). The detectives are a middle-aged savant and a vivacious younger woman who mesh beautifully as they solve a series of murders on an isolated island where everyone is related to everyone else. The story educates and entertains against a background of genealogy and genetics. The fact that the author is my husband doesn't interfere with my complete objectivity in this review in any way.
