Book Description

June 5, 2012
 As curator and manager of the Marshfield Manor, Grace Wheaton is delighted to be part of the estate’s magnificent history, but no one told her solving murder was in her job description…

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…

5.0 out of 5 stars This one will have you biting your nails! June 7, 2012
By Linder
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I will admit that I love to read cozy mysteries and have found many wonderful authors. Julie Hyzy is one that has not disappointed me. The Manor House Mystery series is *very* good and the latest addition---"Grace Among Thieves" is excellent. Grace ends up in the midst of another murder investigation and also once again ends up in deadly peril. The plot is engaging and this is just the kind of book I can't put down where you suspect one person, then another. You question everyone's motivations. It's great. Pick it up and give it a try.

Ready... Set... Read!

Grace is the curator of Marshfield Manor. There's thievery, murder and relationships in the mystery.

The Marshfield Manor reminds me of the Barnes Foundation are collection when it was located in Merion, PA. Julie Hyzy's writing echoes her amazing research before she writes a book. The book quickly engages you in the first 2 pages as you are inside Grace's head when she is going through different scenarios before responding to Bennett's request to talk.

You start the journey with Grace as she works leave the investigation of thefts to the police only to jump in feet first to find the culprits while trying not to get murdered.

Why did I start this with Ready... Set... Read? I found myself grabbing my Kindle to continue reading the book throughout the day... Grocery Store line... gas station while pumping gas... home when I was supposed to finish working on a project. I read every opportunity that I could because I was riveted. I felt like I was Grace. I loved the town and the people. This is what I like about reading Julie's books - GREAT escapes!

5.0 out of 5 stars Julie Hyzy strikes again! June 5, 2012
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Julie Hyzy absolutely has another hit on her hands. Grace Among Thieves picks up where Grace Interrupted left off. Grace is back with another murder in Marshfield Manor, a film crew wandering around and a thief on the loose. This is a must read for cozy mystery fans.
