What an amazing book! Really good description of characters and a good storyline. Highly recommended. Kept me guessing.

I was really in the mood for a book with a Roaring Twenties setting, and this one definitely delivered! There is a little bit of romance, a lot of mystery, and a damsel in distress. The main character, Grace, is a little naive but she has a backbone and learns to use her voice to assert herself over time. There were times in this book (especially in the beginning) I wondered how someone who lived on the streets for a time still remained so innocent about people and their ulterior motives, though. Overall I enjoyed the story, and the mystery/suspected murder aspect kept me guessing about what could have happened until the end. Also, the cameos of real-life famous Hollywood stars helped make it a fun read.

*I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review*

Quite a nice historical mystery. I liked the style of writing, the cast of characters and the plot.

Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

I tried to get into this one and I just couldn’t. I’m learning a lot about my reading tastes this year and one is that I do not like mysteries.

Grace is a great historical mystery with interesting characters and storyline. It was a book that I could not put down.

“Grace in the Wings – A Grace Mystery”, by Kari Bovee, is a well-written historical mystery with an appealing romantic couple and an interesting cast of characters including some historical figures of the 1920s American film and entertainment industry.
I liked Chet Ryker, a kind-hearted hero with a troubled past, who yet isn’t tarnished by it and is surprisingly level headed. I was expecting a male protagonist affected by war, but that dimension was amiss in the story, perhaps it will be explored in the following books. In a way, it was a nice change from the regular tortured hero.
Grace Michelle’s aversion and discomfort with fame and stardom were well handled and refreshing to read. She’s a somewhat shy and reserved person pushed into the limelight that dislikes public exposure and glamour and has other dreams to pursue.
Their attraction is instant, the romance sweet, put on hold by the mystery surrounding the death of Sophie.
An enjoyable read.
