I just finished reading the fourth Ellie McClellan Genealogy Mystery, Family Crimes, by Beth Farrar. Way back in 2014, I wrote a post about how I had just discovered genea-fiction and requested recommendations. I’ve read many since and I’m especially enjoying this series. Ellie McClellan is a professional genealogist living in Canada who leads a weekly group of senior citizens in learning how to tell their family stories. It’s sweet and cozy and the characters are so likeable. I love that so many of the characters are older. I love the attention to detail. And I love that author Beth Farrar sneaks in lots of genealogy tips!
I learned about the Ellie McClellan Genealogy Mysteries in the Genealogical Crime Mystery Book Club Facebook group, of which Beth Farrar is a member. I subscribe to Kindle Unlimited (it has an $11.99 a month fee) and I can read the Kindle version of these books at no additional charge. They’re also available for purchase in hardback or paperback versions.
If you like genea-fiction and you’re not a member of the Genealogy Crime Mystery Book Club, I encourage you to join if you’re on Facebook. And if you’re a genea-fiction fan and you haven’t read this series yet, I encourage you to give it a try. I can’t wait for the next one to come out!
Thank you Janine, for letting us know about this author, I uploaded the first two books to my Kindle and will begin in a couple of days, when I’m done with my current book! I’m looking forward to a new cosy mystery series….with genealogy to boot!
You’re welcome! I’m glad you’ve downloaded the books–I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
Thank you for introducing us to this author! I will go find her now. Sounds delightful!
Yay! Enjoy!
