Book review: Grace Interrupted by Julie Hyzy

I very first came to understand Julie Hyzy with her White home chef secret Series featuring the immensely likeable Olivia (Ollie) Paras. I thoroughly enjoyed all four books in the series, however there’s not a single feline in any type of of them. Neither was there a feline in Grace Under Pressure, the very first in Hyzy’s Manor home secret Series, although that, too, was a delightful read. When I saw the cover of Grace Interrupted, the second in the series, I was thrilled to see the adorable bit kitten on the cover.

If I hadn’t alrady liked Julie Hyzy, I would have ended up being a fan for sure after reading the commitment for Grace Interrupted: “For anyone who has ever opened heart as well as house to a stray.” It turns out that Bootsie, as the kitten is named in the book, is modeled after Julie’s newest household member.

The book’s cover is really one of the most descriptive covers I’ve seen in a while, as it covers all aspects of the story: the kitten, the elegant manor setting, as well as Civil war re-enactments.

From the publisher:

Civil war re-enactors have set up camp on the grounds of Marshfield Manor. The group is extremely believable, particularly when the unrest spills out of the barracks as well as inside the sumptuous mansion. Grace handles to settle a minor squabble, however loses the war when actor Zachary Kincade is discovered stabbed to death.

Jack Embers, the groundskeeper, falls under suspicion when he’s linked to the death of Zachary’s sibling years ago. however there were others out for Zachary, actors who can be extremely convincing when the coveted function of “General” is on the line. Grace feels accountable for discovering the murderer…and for the wonderful tuxedo kitten discovered on her doorstep, Bootsie. Can she come to the rescue of her good friends without putting herself in danger’s way?

This is an all-around wonderful cozy mystery, full of likeable, well-developed characters. The setting is fascinating. I’m not a Civil war buff, however I enjoyed discovering about what motivates re-enactors. as well as of course, there’s Bootsie, the tuxedo kitten that Grace takes in on a rainy night, completely meaning to discover it’s rightful owner, which added to my pleasure of this book.

Treat yourself to this well-plotted, entertaining as well as thorougly engrossing secret – you won’t be disappointed.

She won the Barry as well as Anthony awards for finest Paperback original for specify of the Onion in 2009, as well as a number of other awards for her novels as well as short stories.
