A Great Genealogy Whodnit!!!!

I read this book in July and loved every ounce of it!!!! Since I am a Genealgy buff myself, reading mysteries is right up my alley. Even though Alex and Briggie, along with her mom and cousin, had to use ancient methods of doing their detecting, it was great!!! Since I know GG, We can all look forward to more from Alex and Briggie. Thanks, GG!!! I loved the ending,as Alex is always very clever with her weapons. If you're into Genealogy and researching your roots, this series of three is just for you!!!

Wonderful Story, Enjoyable Characters

This is the first book I have read by Mrs. Vandagriff and I loved it! The storyline was intriguing and entertaining and the characters have caused me to find the rest of her books! I would say this is a must-read for lovers of family history, a good mystery, or a sweet romance.

It's All in the Genes

That it is all in the genes is certainly true as professional genealogist Alexandra Campbell and her loyal partner in genealogical detection, Briggie, solve yet another murder that has its roots in family secrets. Third in G.G. Vandagriff's murder mystery series, "Of Deadly Descent," "Tangled Roots" is the story of murder in the family line of steel magnate William Williams and his complicated descendants. Alexandra and Briggie are on the job as they race to discover his family tree which will reveal "who done it." The thrill in G.G. Vandagriff's mystery novels is as much in her cast of characters as it is in her story lines. Alexandra heart has flip flopped between Charles and Daniel, two complete opposites in the world of male attractivness, and the unsolved mystery of whom Alexandra will finally choose will ensure continued interest in her series. The ongoing friendship between Briggie and Alexandra and the complexities of Alexandra's family life are as intriguing and tangled as the murders themselves. As in all good mystery series, I find myself reading as much for the ongoing story of the characters as for the detection plots. I eagerly await Book Number Four.
