I really liked this mystery and can recommend it to friends. Grace the main character is head curator at the Marshfield Manor and copes with events that start when they rent out the grounds to Civil War Re-enactors. She is still trying after book 1 of this series to connect with Jack Embers. This story deals with Jack's past and the present and his brother and how the family is tied to these people and events. I loved the suspense and mystery and poor Grace comes out of each adventure with a wound or two. It is a fun read. I would recommend Julie Hyzy's mystery series with Grace and with the White House Chef series to all mystery lovers. Hyzy dazzles with another mystery on the grounds of the Marshfield Manor, in an equally exciting book as the original. We learn a little more about Grace, now curator of the Manor, and some of the minor characters who graced (pardon the pun) the pages of the previous adventure. This book reads as smoothly as Hyzy’s original and is just as fun to read. Best done when the reader is in the mood for something a little lighter and perhaps soaking up the rays of the run or waiting for that connecting flight (as well as on board).Looking at the Civil War and its re-enactments, we learn a little more about the world of these history buffs. That said, the story is more complex, as we delve into the personal lives of Grace and the Manor’s head gardener, Jake. Grace may have bitten off more than she can chew with her amorous interests in this fine fellow, with a past as clear as a foggy London morning.Well done and kudos, Madam Hyzy. You surely are an author in the ruff!
What do You think about Grace Interrupted (2011)?
This book was okay. I definitely like the White House Chef series by Hyzy better than this one.

Not as good as the first one, but still enjoyable.
