From acclaimed author Steve Robinson comes a bold new Jefferson Tayte mystery. On a foggy night in 1914, the ocean liner Empress of Ireland sank en route between Canada and England. The disaster saw a loss of life comparable to the Titanic and the Lusitania, and yet her tragedy has been forgotten. When genealogist Jefferson Tayte is shown a locket belonging to one of the Empress's victims, a British admiral's daughter named Alice Stilwell, he must travel to England to understand the course of events that led to her death. Tayte is expert in tracking killers across centuries. In The Lost Empress, his unique talents draw him to one of the greatest tragedies in maritime history as he unravels the truth behind Alice's death amidst a backdrop of pre-WWI espionage. This is the fourth book in the Jefferson Tayte Genealogical Mystery series but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story.… (plus d'informations)

Another enjoyable genealogy mystery ( )

A pleasant enough easy read, though I would have preferred a better balance between JT’s research and Alice’s story - there wasn’t much of the former. And the ending felt a little feeble. Not knowing that this was a series, I originally read book 5, and then started back at book 1, so I already know what happens next, and it kind of feels like this book was squeezed in because the series needed to be made longer. Book 5 follows 3 far more logically than this one. ( )

Another great book! Jefferson Tayte's (J.T.)client believes that she is a descendent of Alice Stilwell who had been reported lost on the cruise ship Empress of Ireland during it's voyage from Canada to England in 1914. If Alice had been lost then how could she possibly be his client's grandmother? Follow J.T. on his adventure and find out why a young Mother from a very prominent British family would spy on her beloved country of England and risk the loss of her husband, kids, and parents.

I didn't know that this cruise ship and it's disaster where an actual event but after reading this and doing a little digging myself I found that it was, which in turn made me like this book even more. I love a book that get's me digging for more information, whether it be just looking up the locations on a map or actually reading newspaper articles about the events. Looking forward to going on another adventure with J.T.. ( )

A modern murder in England appears to be directly linked to espionage in the lead up to WW I. ( )
