A friend from Saskatchewan, Eileen Condon, shared more titles of genealogy novels. She mentioned "Killing Cousins by Gene Stratton (the author of Applied Genealogy). It's been around since 1989, but I'm not sure if anyone else has suggested it. I also read Bloodline by Fiona Mountain--had Barnes and Noble order it for me after reading a review in "People" magazine. Of all places to find a genealogical reference!!" The latter is subtitled A Natasha Blake Ancestor Detective Mystery.
Please share your suggestions for novels with a genealogy connection. Send them to me via e-mail or as a comment to this blog post. I am seeing some duplication, but that's OK -- it may be mean a higher recommendation for the novel.
For previous titles check here, here, and here

Cane River by Lalita Tademy, based on her own family research and ancestors who were slaves. Set in Louisiana pre- and post-civil war. Tademy left her job as Vice-President of Sun Microsystems to research her family and write this novel. Previous Oprah book club selection.
Thanks to Anne Ciochetto from Washington state for this suggestion.
