"Murder and a modern day Civil War can be found in this charming mystery"

Fresh Fiction Review

Grace Interrupted
Julie Hyzy

Reviewed by Sharon Galligar Chance

Mystery Cozy

The Civil War is taking place all over again in the gardens of Marshfield Manor! Well, not exactly -- it's only a group of Civil War re-enactors who have come to hold their very realistic skirmish. The group seems very genuine trying to keep the camp as true to the era as possible, but the fun comes to an end when one of the re-enactors, Zach Kinkade, is found stabbed to death.

It falls upon Grace Wheaton, caretaker of the Manor, to find out who had it in for the military actor, and boy, does she find a bevy of suspects to choose from. Was it the bride he left at the altar, or her friends who have come to avenge her disgrace? Or was it one of the Manor's own employees? With her usual calm style and dignity, Grace works quickly to try to solve this new war before someone else takes a fall for the cause!

In her second novel in her Manor House Mystery series, GRACE INTERRUPTED, author Julie Hyzy once again treats her readers to a fabulously fun and deliciously thrilling mystery. Hyzy's characters are lively and entertaining, and her plotlines move along at a brisk pace, with plenty of twists and turns to satisfy the most ardent fan of cozy mysteries. I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a dab of history, and a whole lot of spirited fun in their novels.
