Description
Hannah Ives’s sister, Georgina, has some astonishing news. A DNA test has revealed she is part Native American, and Hannah’s test has similar results. The link seems to come from their late mother. But how?
As Hannah dives into constructing her family tree, she uncovers a heart-breaking love story and a mysterious death, while DNA matching turns up two second cousins, Mai and Nicholas. Hannah and her niece, Julie, are eager to embrace their new relatives and learn about their surprising ancestry, but Georgina’s husband, Scott, isn’t so keen. Are there more shocking revelations to come? And can Hannah untangle her family roots to uncover the truth behind a devastating tragedy?

I recently read the first book in the Hannah Ives series (Sing It To Her Bones), and was immediately hooked on this character. When the opportunity came from NetGalley to read the most recent entry, I jumped on it even though I hadn't read the rest of the series. Unlike some series, where it feels like you're the newcomer in an old group of friends with a shared history, I was able to jump from the first book to the latest without any sense that I was lost. While characters overlap between books and time passes, I was able to enjoy Tangled Roots without feeling that I'd missed the backstory. Hannah is an appealing amateur sleuth, prone to jumping in with both feet without looking first (but if she didn't, there wouldn't be a story, would there?). Highly recommended, especially if you're looking for new series for a book-binge!

DNA has been in the news lately because of the many cold cases being solved. The 17th book covers two of the results that can happen. One is the possible surprise of your forefathers' ancestry and the second problem using the same sperm in several cases.
The Ivey family is startled when Georgina's ancestry test comes back showing she has 25% of Native American genes. Hannah sends her own to check re results and came back agreeing with Georgina results. About the time of results are back Georgina's husband is found MURDERED. The twists and turns will teach you about DNA. Where did the Native American genes come from? What tribe? The ending was a surprise for me.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.
