DNA Never Lies

You paid the price for wanting what you couldn't have. Now DNA tests threaten to expose what you spent a lifetime hiding... As an ambitious young woman in the years following the Second World War, Barbara made some hard choices, decisions changing everything that came after. She had to fight for what she wanted; then the stakes got so much higher. A continent away, and decades later, Barbara's daughter hires genealogist Karen Copperfield to make sense of the family's DNA tests. Nothing about the results ties in with what Barbara's children believed, and the shock is tearing the family apart. Barbara seems to prefer death to revealing the truth, and Karen soon discovers there is more than one secret she intends to take to her grave. But when threats start to come from both sides of the Atlantic, it soon becomes clear that Barbara is not the only person who wants the past to stay that way. DNA Never Lies is the first in a series of novels featuring Karen Copperfield, investigative genealogist.
