From the author of the successful White House Chef mysteries.

Everyone wants a piece of millionaire Bennett Marshfield, owner of Marshfield Manor, but now it’s up to a new curator Grace Wheaton and handsome groundskeeper Jack Embers to protect dear old Marshfield. But to do this, they’ll have to investigate a botched Ponzi scheme, some torrid Wheaton family secrets-and sour grapes out for revenge.

My Review: Daughter Amy gave me this book because she knows I love cozy mysteries.  I read this book in two days.  The story was engaging, the characters likable and this is the first book in what I hope are many more.  Grace is by herself, single, parentless, but she has obtained the job of her dreams.  Almost as soon as she is hired,  she encounters problems she wasn’t expecting and the police are understaffed which leaves it up to her to (help) solve the mystery.  Along the way I encountered some heart pounding situations which made me continue turning pages to find out what would happen next.  This was a fun new book and I look forward to many more in this series by Julie Hyzy.  She has also written the White House Chef Mysteries, and I think I may look up those as well!
