The Kari AnnAlysis

All is finally starting to settle at Marshfield Manor after the murder of the curator. But it’s not long before more drama hits the grounds. It’s Civil-War re-enactment weekend at the manor and there are hundreds there to take part.

But one of the war actors brought a little drama of his own along with him. He left his fiance at the altar and ends up dead. The list of suspects is never ending, including the two women who tried to taze him on the manor grounds, everyone who is taking part in the re-enactment and last, but not least, Grace’s potential boyfriend Jack and his brother. And it turns out there’s some family history between Jack’s family and the man who is killed. This isn’t the first time death has come between them.

There’s a new dog on the police force, sniffing out suspects, but once again, Grace takes it into her own hands, primarily to clear the names of her friends.

I am so glad I was asked to review this series. It is one of my new favorites. I wanted more from all of these characters after finishing Grace Under Pressure and I definitely got it in Grace Interrupted. Hyzy paints a perfect historical picture of a place I want to spend tons of time. She even made Civil War re-enacting sound beautiful, and history has never been more forte.

Yes, these books are serious with murders and a bit of mayhem for this small town, but they have that comedic edge to them that you can’t get enough of. I started this book late on a Friday night and finished it Sunday afternoon. It was my weekend pool read. I actually was pacing around my dad’s dining room table, trying to finish it, when people had started showing up for our cookout. I couldn’t put it down.

I highly suggest these books to anyone who wants a little mystery and a little fun rolled into one. I give Grace Interrupted 5 bookmarks and hope Hyzy has started the next one
