Mr. Barnes wrote a winner with this book. Enjoyed the first Andy Blake but this was a much better story line. Looking forward to number 3.

This book is so disjointed, making it difficult to maintain continuity in the 3 story lines. One account would become interesting only to leap rapidly into another. The premise of the story is fascinating but not allowed to flow. I didn’t enjoy it nearly as much as book 1

Barnes has hit his stride with two apparently divergent mysteries wrapped in an American-Canadian historical context with well fleshed out characters. Strongly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars A family tale!
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2022

I was expecting an Andy Blake story and got a surprise. This story had three different tales that were entwined. It was difficult to tell how they were part of each other, but the ending made sense. The writing was good but the story wasn't what I thought it would be. I plan on reading the next one to see what happens.

5.0 out of 5 stars An elegantly written book of high quality
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2016
This book was a joy to read - it elegantly weaved exceptionally well researched historical facts with the present day. The reader feels that they are part of the action. Detective Andrea Blake is a great character and one warms to her immediately. Richard's style of writing makes it easy to read, and one always wants to see how the story unfolds in the next chapter. I will be definitely buying and reading his other novels. Good job Richard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forgotten Roots
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2014
Many people these days search for their family genealogy, but how often do individuals discover their true “history”? Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could go back in time and “see” the happenings of our ancestors? Forgotten Roots had created that desire within me. Author Richard Whitten Barnes has created strong, interesting characters, and he weaves a story that keeps the reader guessing until the very end as to how these lives are connected. He writes both in the days of the early 1800s and in the present; he pulls those two eras together beautifully. When an author can use descriptive language to get his readers to places via visual imagery, he’s done his job. He was able to wrap my heart around that of the characters, especially one, but I won’t include a spoiler here. As a reader, I feel that I can describe both the world of the 1800’s story and the present-day mystery included in the book, thanks to the wonderful writing of Richard Barnes. Readers who enjoy historical fiction and/or a great mystery will find Forgotten Roots a book of choice for their reading repertoire.

3.0 out of 5 stars Blind River Blues?
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2014
Forgotten Roots by Richard Whitten Barnes is a well-crafted murder mystery overlapping timeframes set in modern-day Ontario and the Great Lakes of the 1800’s. Andrea Blake of the Windsor Police Service finds her life cluttered by distraction, her hectic career and independent spirit continually interrupting her romance with entrepreneur Grant Stacey. Only a family mystery surrounding the disappearance of one of her ancestors around the War of 1812 places her on a compelling quest that Barnes develops into a fast-paced adventure narrative.

Andrea’s great-great grandmother Nettie Gibson arrives with her husband and child in Canada where she finds herself intrigued by Voyageur Martin Legere. The two are drawn to one another and soon find themselves in an illicit affair. Their comeuppance arrives in the form of a thief and murderer from Baltimore, Albert Parcher, who joins the Ohio Militia in an attempt to escape justice. The USS Caledonia arrives at Lake Huron where roaming Indians and British Army units are but part of the challenges facing the settlers along the rugged countryside. Andrea’s ancestral search soon becomes entangled with the real-time murder of Wanda Crowder, and it takes her from Blind River to St. Joseph Island in the quest for truth and justice.

The author provides us with an authentic overview of the Canadian landscape, his characters intriguing and the subplots convincing. For suspense fans, history buffs and general audiences, Forgotten Roots by Richard Whitten Barnes is one you won’t want to miss.
