Grace Interrupted is the second in the series by Julie Hyzy set at Marshfield Manor, an old estate that is now being run as a hotel/museum/tourist destination. In addition to dealing with the tourists, she has to deal with a prickly assistant (Frances), a kindly boss (Bennett) who's trying to have way more influence over her life than she wants, a romance with the head landscaper (Jack) that seems to be going nowhere fast (actually, to the point where you wonder why she doesn't give up)--and once again, a murder to solve.
In this instance, it's the death of a Civil War re-enactor on the estate's grounds.
The victim showed himself to be kind of a jerk while alive so there are plenty of suspects, though the police quickly home in on Jack and his younger brother, Davy.
This series is entertaining enough. But I really prefer Julie Hyzy's other series featuring Ollie the White House chef. I guess I just find that setting more interesting and I think I like the character of Ollie a little more. Ollie seems more take-charge and Grace seems a little indecisive.
