The Foundling

I enjoyed the story told but I listened to it instead of reading it and I think that was a mistake. Genealogy is hard to comprehend without a chart or family tree in front of you. I am involved in genealogy for my family and I still get confused if I have to go back more than two or three generations. A good portion of this book is a family tree poured over and explored extensively. Maybe the written book has a family tree graphic for the reader to go back to often for reference. But you didn't have those reference points while listening to the book and that left me lost and confused many times over. Still, I did enjoy the story. Maybe because I am into genealogy. More because it's two mysteries that the author works hard to solve. I would have given it 3 1/2 stars if I could.
