Burch Bayard, local patriarch and greedy landowner, has a nefarious plan to build McMansions up and down the island—and over graves that may belong to Dr. Flo's ancestors! The friends set to work to make sure that Dr. Flo's family tree has its roots in the old cemetery, a task made very difficult by the lack of Southern hospitality from the island's inhabitants. One old woman even tries to shoot them! But when that woman later turns up dead, Katharine and Flo realize there's more than bodies buried on that land. And if they keep unearthing the island's secrets, they might be digging their own graves. Average Rating:

My own history kept me glued to Dr. Flo's searches because my father, an early genealogist, provided the documentation for Karen Farmer to be the first black woman to be admitted to the venerable DAR. ...

I enjoyed the historical and geneological background of the first book of this new series, so I had to get the 2nd book when it came out. Interesting background on a area of Georgia I wasn't familiar with, enjoyed the characters (good guys and bad)and found it a thoroughly enjoyable read. Rating:  - good storyI enjoyed "Sins of the Father". Sometimes it is a little hard to sympathize with "poor little Katharine" as she sits in her huge house in the wealthy part of town with the kids moved out complaining about her husband not flying home for the weekend and wondering what to do with her life. Sounds like the dream life! That said, what I like a lot about the stories is that the family history and genealogy mysteries add a lot of flavor and interest and the murder part of the story is driven by the "family ...
