    A Mags and Biddy Genealogy Mystery Series

    About this series

    Last Christmas genealogist Mags Murray organized her grandmother's wake. This year she'll be spending her holiday with her dad, and for the first time, her recently discovered biological father. To add to her stress, Mags offers to help her friend Gretta locate her grandson, who was adopted thirty-one years ago. Having uncovered her own paternity thanks to a DNA test, Mags is prepared for the surprises Gretta's test may reveal. Or so she thinks.

    Within twenty-four hours of Gretta receiving her DNA results, a police detective requests Gretta's assistance in identifying her closest match, a wanted criminal. Devastated by the shocking news, Gretta refuses to disclose the match is her grandson. Mags soon suspects the police aren't the only ones searching for the man. Fearing Gretta's grandson might be in danger, Mags and her best friend, Biddy McCarthy, attempt to track him down so they can warn him and hopefully prove his innocence.

    Over the past year, Mags and Biddy have encountered a forger, kidnapper, murderer, and other dodgy characters. Who knows what they are up against now!

      A Mags and Biddy Genealogy Mystery, Book 1   From USA Today bestselling author and genealogist Eliza Watson! It's been a rough year for 26-year-old Mags Murray. First she learns that her dad isn't her biological father, a secret her mother took to her grave three years earlier. Then her beloved Irish grandmother passes away at Christmas while Mags is visiting her from the States. Now Mags must host her grandmother's wake and sell her cottage. A cottage filled with cherished memories. A cottage Mags inherited but her odd jobs won't enable her to keep. Shortly after the funeral, a young man, Finn O'Brien, arrives at the cottage with an old photograph. Finn believes the boys in the photo are a clue to his father's identity. Mags can sympathize with him, and because she often helped her genealogist grandmother uncover skeletons in people's closets, including hers, she agrees to assist Finn. But searching for Finn's father stirs up trouble. Finn is in a near-fatal car crash that wasn't an accident. So Mags and her childhood friend Biddy McCarthy investigate why someone wants to prevent Finn from finding his father. Questioning the quirky locals proves a wee bit difficult as several of the suspects were victims of Mags and Biddy's childhood shenanigans. It might take a fake Irish wake to reveal Finn's father and the would-be murderer. But what if the two turn out to be the same person? **Genealogy research tips included!**

      A Mags and Biddy Genealogy Mystery, Book 2   From USA Today bestselling author and family historian Eliza Watson! After inheriting her grandmother's cottage, Mags Murray moves from the States to rural Ireland to embark on a new life. Her odd seasonal jobs won't pay for the needed repairs on her home, so Mags is determined to become a full-time genealogist, following in her grandmother's footsteps. She starts by organizing a DNA support group that encourages members to share research tips and provide moral support to frustrated family historians. Mags soon lands her first client, but not the kind she'd expected. A group member, Aidan, hires Mags to find a stolen family heirloom—a valuable unpublished manuscript written by a famous Irish author. Shortly after hiring her, Aidan also turns up missing. His brother hires Mags and her sidekick, Biddy, to find both Aidan and the manuscript. He guarantees them a cut of the manuscript's sale price. Rather than spending the money on an exotic trip as she would have in the past, Mags dreams of buying a shiny new riding lawn mower and a fuel tank. Will the money they stand to make be worth the risk of uncovering a dark family secret and chasing down forgers, an ex-con, and other dodgy suspects? *Genealogy research tips included.*
