Grace Among Thieves by Julie Hyzy is the third book in the “Manor House” mystery series. Publisher: Berkley Prime Crime, June 2012
When Grace’s former professor calls to warn her
that there have been a rash of thefts at various historical sites, Grace isn’t
surprised—because Marshfield Manor has been targeted, too. She wonders if it
has something to do with the film crew roaming the grounds, digitally
immortalizing the manor, but then she gets distracted by an incident much more
dire: the shooting of one guest and the murder of another. Grace does her
best not to go looking for trouble, but with a murderer on the loose, she can’t
seem to leave the dirty work to the cops—especially since the killer still
seems to be lurking around town, waiting to finish the job of making Grace
history.
Someone is stealing items from Marshfield Manor and things go from bad to worse when a guest is murdered and another shot. Grace captures the killer on film and soon becomes a target herself and will have to use long dormant skills to slice this case open. Julie has done it again; she’s written a great story that showcases the strength and moxie of Grace Wheaton as she investigates thefts and another murder at Marshfield Manor. The author did a good job in fleshing out this mystery with plenty of diversion that kept my attention as I could not put this book down. This was an excellent read and I can’t wait for what happens next at Marshfield Manor in this enjoyably pleasant series.
