My friend, Alice, recommended this one to me and she was actually the inspiration for one of the characters, Alex (Alexandria), who is one of the private investigators seeking out heirs for unclaimed inheritances. It was a quick and entertaining read and I didn't figure out the mystery in advance which is a good thing! I enjoyed re-visiting the ways people were located and family histories were built only 20 years ago...we've come such a long way from the days of digging through city directories in libraries (now online on multiple sites) and going to courthouses to retrieve birth, marriage and death records. I was nostalgic for the first-hand evidence they collected by travelling to the source.
Alex and her boss, Nick are looking for heirs to a multi-million dollar inheritance and instead find a suspicious trail of coverup and intrigue. They work together to sleuth out the puzzle pieces of who the deceased may be related to and where those people can be found. To complicate matters, others are also looking for the heirs, and not for good reasons. A fun and quick read.
