While on a visit to London, American genealogist Jefferson Tayte's old friend and colleague dies in his arms. Before long, Tayte and a truth-seeking historian, Professor Jean Summer, find themselves following a corpse-ridden trail that takes them to the Royal Society of London, circa 1708.What to make of the story of five men of science, colleagues of Isaac Newton and Christopher Wren, who were mysteriously hanged for high treason?As they edge closer to the truth, Tayte and the professor find that death is once again in season. A new killer, bent on restoring what he sees as the true, royal bloodline, is on the loose...as is a Machiavellian heir-hunter who senses that the latest round of murder, kidnapping, and scandal represents an unmissable business opportunity.The Last Queen of England is a racing thriller with a heart-stopping conclusion. It is the third book in the Jefferson Tayte Genealogical Mystery series but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story.… (plus d'informations)

Book 3 in story of Jefferson Tayte geneaology mysteries. This involves trying to discover why his good friend was murdered. His friend was trying the real heir of Queen Anne to prove that the current heir is an imposter. He is and Kate, whom he was introduced to by his murdered friend, are trying to complete his friend?s project. They become the targets of the people who murdered his friend,Marcus. A very fast-paced story. A fun read.

Lots of genealogical research mixed with substantial mayhem. Jefferson survives and resolves the problem but leaves some nice threads for future books in this quite good series. ( )

Exciting. :) I do wish the author had finished the investigation though. ( )

The third in the Jefferson Tayte series takes a slightly different tack to usual, in that there is no interwoven historical tale, just the modern story of Tayte trying to unravel the mystery. When his friend is killed, Tayte steps in to finish the job he was working on, uncovering a modern-day Jacobite plot. The unravelling of the clues is interesting, but Tayte is still, overall, still an annoying character. For an allegedly overweight 40-year-old, he seems able to dodge pursuers, and bullets, with remarkable athleticism, brushing off significant injuries with not so much as a second glance. ( )

Once again I was led on an adventure through the streets of London and running for my life. Well, I may not have been really there but I did find myself reading faster during the chase scenes and my heart was beating like mad. Of course the ending leaves you with a little tid bit of what the next book is going to be about. Which is going to drive me crazy until I can can my hand on it. ( )
