Book review: The Last Queen of England by Steve Robinson

Queen Anne (b. 1665, d. 1714) was the "Last Queen of England" because the act of union occurred in her reign.  She was pregnant many times, but none of her children survived.  Or did they?

Genealogist Jefferson Tayte is at a conference in England when his friend and colleague dies in his arms. Tayte and Prof. Jean Summer take on the job that his colleague was working on, which involves the long-ago execution of five members of the Royal Society and a possible heir to the throne via Anne's line of descent.

Soon, though, it also involves murder in the present day, motivated by both politics and greed.

This is the third book in the Jefferson Tayte series,  but I don't think you need to read the others first.
