Grace Interrupted by Julie Hyzy
Published by Berkley, an imprint of Penguin
The first book in the Manor House Mystery series, please see my review of the first book in the series, Grace Under Pressure.
Things are finally settling down for Grace Wheaton and Marshfield Manor after the death of the head curator. The quiet only lasts until two women are caught trespassing near a group of Civil War re-enactors on the premises, wishing to do harm to one of the men, Zachary Kincade. Surprisingly, though, when Zachary turns up dead, these women aren’t the main suspects; Grace’s potential beau Jack Embers, previously accused of killing Zachary’s brother, is the one under suspicion.
Grace continues to be a compelling character. In Grace Interrupted she is dealing not only with another murder, but with accusations against the man she loves - okay, the man she has sort of a crush on and would like to finally get out on a date with.
As always, Hyzy does a great job crafting her mystery. Her murderer makes perfect sense and she does scatter clues, but the culprit is not so obvious that the reader isn’t kept guessing.
Grace Interrupted is just as lovely and fun as I expect of Hyzy. Recommended.

I love Julie’s books and can’t wait to read this one. I purchased it on my Nook but haven’t had time to read it just yet. Good to know it’s a fun as I hoped!
I love the cover, it instantly made me think of a mystery or whodunit. Nice that you got it from the publlsher, I love it when that happens, keeps a little change in my pocket.
You keep picking up these fun mystery series books. I need to try one!
I know, I’ve been on a major cozy kick lately, I still have one more to review and another that needs to be read!
Sounds like a fun mystery. I think I’m in the mood for those right now.
I have this series on my wish list. Mysteries are not my usual genre but lately they have been really interesting me. These cozies really catch my eye with their cute covers and fun descriptions.
Hurray, I love finding new mystery series. Even better when someone pre-qualifies them for me. Adding this to my list.
