This was a very pleasant surprise to wake up to this morning. Thanks very much. I think To the Grave should lend itself to discussion very well and I'm looking forward to joining in the discussion. :o)
Yay! Loved this book. Look forward to finally being able to chat with spoilers (obv not in this thread though)
This story was universally loved by readers. Its main character, the young and naive Mena, featured more than Jefferson Tayte, the genealogist 'hero' of these stories. We watched him in fascination as he discovered the truth and became embroiled in the repercussions which were felt to the present day. Mena's tale is sensitively told. It is obviously meticulously researched but this knowledge is used to feed the story not to impress the reader.The book featured a strong cast of characters and readers were outraged at the injustices suffered by Mena at the hands of others, particularly those who should have had her best interest at heart. There is a very poignant moment towards the end - you will know it when you read it, which touched us all.
A truly great book and a unanimous 3 Acorns - An Oak Tree Must Read recommendation.
Congratulations Steve! How wonderful to have your second book as the group read almost a year on from the first.Brilliant.
Nice one Steve! Great to see everything going so well for you!
Yay Steve ! I definitely need a few more days before we start going into the spoilers discussion (gives a chance for more people to read it)... was talking about the book a couple of days ago and I was still welling up lol !
Well done Steve, mind you " To The Grave " should be at the top of everyones list, it is a cracking read!!
Is it the group read on KUF too? That is a fantastic load of exposure between the two groups, well done Steve and well deserved.
Thanks everyone. I've been out and about a bit today or would have popped back in sooner. Some lovely things being said and I really can't thank you all enough. It has also been voted KUF book of the month starting today and the support from both groups is all very amazing really. If anyone has any questions about the book, please ask away in the spoiler thread and maybe others as well as myself can dive in too.
Congrats again Steve! I'm looking forward to joining in with the spoiler thread.

I just posted on Amazon in the Meet Our Authors forum, inviting readers to come over and chat about the book. I don' t know if any/many readers actually go into the MOA forum, but I thought I'd make it known in my TTG thread over there just in case.
You could pop the link in here for us lazy people, Steve. ;)
Here's the link Patti, but there's not much going on in the MOA forum - no replies to the post in my thread from last night. In terms of inviting new readers over I should think there would be more interest in the readers forums - maybe the mystery forum or general Kindle forum. I'm always pleased to see anyone from this group pop in though. :o)http://www.amazon.co.uk/forum/meet%20...

I was thinking that some of the readers not in this group who bought To the Grave might pop over for some spoiler-chat if they knew there was a place for it.
You see names popping up - not everyone's as gobby as I am! But they are there none-the-less.
I've just listed a Goodreads giveaway for a 1st edition 6x9 paperback of To the Grave: A Jefferson Tayte Genealogical Crime Mystery.Enter to win here: http://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...
I just noticed that your name spelled incorrectly in this thread title.I'll fix it for a suitable bribe.
I noticed it straight away, but I like it. It makes me sound Scandinavian and you know how popular crime writers from thank neck of the woods are. Larsson, Robinsonn et al. :o)
then you should be Stev.
Like it. Or how about, Steiv Robinssonn?
There is such a thing as over-doing it! Oh, and you need a brightly patterned woolly jumper.
Oh, yarh. A chunky, cable knit shvetter pleash.

Okay,now I REALLY wanna change the thread title.
Patti (Stir Crazy) wrote: "Okay,now I REALLY wanna change the thread title."What is wrong with the horses? I have some, & a keyring too.
Patti (Stir Crazy) wrote: "Okay,now I REALLY wanna change the thread title."Oh, Patti! I was going to grow my goatee out and put some platts in and everything.
Dont forget a matching hat with plaits( more than likely spelt wrong) hanging down either side of your head.
Now you're cooking. I can spell it wrong anyway, 'cos I'm a bloke and shouldn't know about such things. :o)
I spell everything wrong Steve and not being a bloke I dont even have that excuse! I still think you would look rather fetching in matching sweater and hat with horses and plaits!
Is that horses on the jumper or Steiv Robinssssonn - horse master? Now I'm getting carried away.
Dragged away by the horses. Or by the plaits?
If anyone interested in the series wants to read In the Blood before reading To the Grave, I've just lowered the price to 77p until the end of the month.
Just so you all know, Steve will be answering questions live during our next event, on Tuesday 24th at 7.30 PMIf you want more information, here's the thread :)

Who wrote the title for this thread? Do they/you realise that Robinson is spelt wrong?
Jud (Disney Diva) wrote: "Who wrote the title for this thread? Do they/you realise that Robinson is spelt wrong?"Read from post no. 20 Jud!
Aww, can't we do the Steiv Robinssonnnnn thing all over again.
Steve wrote: "Aww, can't we do the Steiv Robinssonnnnn thing all over again."If you really want to Steeievee
Not really. I Just didn't want Jud to feel left out because she missed it last time.Maybe I should send Jefferson Tayte to Norway in the next book.
And put in a character called Steeieve?

Rats. I can't do Tuesdays in the summer. It's my Natural History Society night out. Good luck Steve.
Thanks Kath. But oh no! You can't make it!! That's a real shame. And I could have picked any night. You can email me a question if you like and I'll post it in the thread for your to see the answer later. :o)
Steve beat me to it - you'll be missed :)
Aw blast. It looks like tomorrow night is the only chance we'll get to see Dave's best mate while we're home. It's not definite yet, mind.I'll keep you posted.
