From Here to Paternity (Jane Jeffry Mysteries, No. 6)

Jill Churchill

Avon, 1995

Chicago Suburbs Rise To the Colorado Rockies. Creme Goes Sour (and makes tangy, multi-cultural soup).
Mel's bad mood used for mild humor was a good reader (tow) "in" for me, especially when he admitted to wanting to keep his funk. Jane's contrast to Mel, from her chipper mode, was a pleasant change for "who's got the slump." Jane rambled along easily with her off-duty detective's gripes, as they maneuvered a snow-packed, Colorado mountain road en route to a resort of which Shelley's husband was ...

This book explains relation between sacrifice and patriarch
The author is very brilliant. She explains how sacrifice have functioned to maintain patrilineal system. I think this book could contribute to reveal contradiction of monolineal genealogy. It is not nature but culture.
