I thought this was really well written and I look forward to reading more from this author in the future. I think it will find readers at our library, so we will definitely be purchasing for the collection.

I can’t review this book since I wrote it, so I’ll include the verified five-star Amazon review written by Joe Urschel, a former columnist for USA Today:

“Peter Prichard has written a mystery that is both a vivid time travel journey back to the late ‘60s and an indictment of the folly that was the war in Vietnam. For those who lived through those years, it is a stark reminder of those fractious times. For those who did not, it is an instructive description of a time, not unlike our own, when the nation seems to be coming apart at the seams, Prichard manages to deliver all this through the eyes of two unforgettable characters,, war-weary and world-weary military police officers who try to solve a murder in spite of the resistance of their commanding officers. Once they go to work you’ll be flipping pages at hyper-speed. Once they finish, you’ll be yearning for a sequel.”

Killing Grace is set during the 1960s and a man is experiencing the Vietnam War. Although I did not particularly find the story interesting, the Vietnam War still tugs at the heartstrings of many. Peter S. Prichard is a good author and the writing style flowed very well. Anyone that likes historical fiction during this era should try to read this book.

A complex story set in the late 1960's in both America and Viet Nam. If you remember those days, you're sure to enjoy reading this. I got bogged down a few times, but when I finished reading it, I thought it was well worth sticking to it. I see there is a glossary at the end of the book and that will be helpful to some readers. After you finish reading it, you can take a moment to reflect on the past and what we have or have not learned.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advance copy of this book. It speaks to me.

This was a really well done mystery novel with a great way of using the Vietnam War. It had the suspenseful atmosphere that I was hoping for and the characters were everything that I was expecting. I enjoyed the way Peter S. Prichard wrote this.
