This genealogical mystery was both enthralling and baffling in equal measure. I had no idea what the end result would be, which kept me gripped . . . I really enjoyed it and will look out for more in this series.

About M. J. Lee
M. J. Lee has spent most of his adult life writing in one form or another. As a university researcher in history, he wrote pages of notes on reams of obscure topics. As a social worker with Vietnamese refugees, he wrote memoranda. And, as the creative director of an advertising agency, he has written print and press ads, TV commercials, short films, and innumerable backs of cornflake packets and hotel websites. He has spent twenty-five years of his life working outside the North of England. In London, Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore, Bangkok and Shanghai, winning awards from Cannes, One Show, D&AD, New York, and London Festivals, and the United Nations. When he’s not writing, he splits his time between the U.K. and Asia, taking pleasure in playing with his daughter, researching his family history, practicing downhill ironing, single-handedly solving the problem of the French wine lake, and wishing he were George Clooney.
