Great book, highly recommended ***** —Mystery Author/Reviewer Cy Wyss Milhomme's historical Boston is rich and inviting, and the main characters are well-rounded and unique, yet familiar, like old friends. The mystery is enriched by the codes that need to be unraveled, an area that Milhomme has obviously studied well. One of the best historical mysteries! ***** —Reviewer/Blogger Saradia Chatterjee …In fact, I have even added some quotes from this book to my favorite quotes’ collection… In their college days, three friends created the Sleuthhound Club to solve local mysteries and crimes, but only one of the friends turned that early hobby into a profession. Inspector Tuohay of the Royal Irish Constabulary has seen a lot of action in his line of business, including the infamous crime that shattered his career—the amazing theft of the Templar Diamond. Now six years after the theft in 1902, new evidence surfaces as key players (including Tuohay) receive mysterious invitations to "The Chase" for the missing Diamond. And who better to help Tuohay find the missing artifact than the members of his old club? Danger, betrayal, cyphers, ploys…and murder. Crack the code. Solve the murders. Find the stolen Templar Diamond. And stay alive. All in a day's work. Try your hand at finding the hidden Templar Diamond by following the clues within the novel, and beyond. Readers and reviewers agree—Grace and Disgrace is a mystery that keeps you guessing until the very end.

About the Author Kayne Milhomme was born near Boston four decades ago (give or take). He has a keen interest in writing historical mysteries on topics with societal significance, intermingled with characters that as a rule do not take themselves too seriously (occasionally to their detriment). His novel, Grace and Disgrace, is a result of blending the art of writing with his passion for intrigue.

Great book, highly recommended By Cy Wyss Grace and Disgrace is the story of Jack Tuohay, an Inspector with the Royal Irish Constabulary around the turn of the century (early 1900s). Tuohay comes to Boston following the trail of a missing diamond and proceeds to follow a path of murder and mayhem. Tuohay's friends Eliza and John help him, as does a shadowy Inspector in the Boston Police named Frost. The web of intrigue involves some higher ups in the Boston Catholic church as well as potential police wrongdoings. Along the way, Tuohay and friends unravel some diabolical codes and try to piece together clues before the murderer gets them too.Aside from the odd spate of overly purple prose, Milhomme's writing is smooth, easy to read, and impeccably edited. What is really compelling about the book, though, is the plot and characters. Once I got about a third of the way through I found I couldn't put Grace and Disgrace down. Milhomme's historical Boston is rich and inviting, and the main characters are well-rounded and unique, yet familiar, like old friends. The mystery is enriched by the codes that need to be unraveled, an area that Milhomme has obviously studied well. Although in retrospect I feel I could have solved the mystery, the answer came as a surprise to me, which happens in a well-written yarn. Great book, definitely recommended reading.

An invitation arrives by post challenging the recipients to begin a chase to find the Templar Diamond. A priest is murdered to demonstrate that participation in the chase can be fatal. However, Jack Tuohay, Eliza Wilding and John Elredge take on the challenge.This book offers a wide range of experiences. The reader is transported to a different era and is intrigued by the mysteries that get more complicated with each chapter. Crypts and puzzles are integral parts of the chase that constitutes the central theme of the novel. As the characters try hard to get past the labyrinths and discover the lost diamond, the suspense heightens. The author is very descriptive and the narrative technique is brilliant. There isn’t any dull moment and my interest in the story didn’t flicker till I reached the end. In fact, I have even added some quotes from this book to my favorite quotes’ collection. I’m a great admirer of historical mysteries because besides impressing the reader with thrills and chills they also provide a look-back at some important events in history. While some books in this genre tend to lose their grip on the historical aspect and shift focus to the elements that thrill, “Grace and disgrace” strikes a perfect balance between the two aspects. I’d definitely recommend this to readers of mystery and historical mystery, but I’m sure people with interest in history in general will also like this book. It is a book that truly deserves all the five stars!
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Recommended for fans of Dan Brown books By Maryann Inspector Jack Tuohay is searching for the Templar Diamond that has been missing from St. Peter’s Cathedral for six years.The plot begins with mysterious invitations that bring the main characters together – an officer and a deputy, and Sara, a nurse for loonies at an institute, whose priest uncle, Father Kearney, was murdered after his failed attempts to expose infamous vices in the clergy.A few chapters in and I so disliked Tuohay. What he did to his brother was unforgivable. I get that he was a boy and upset, it was just a grievous calamity that happened in the heat of the moment. I think he meant to save his little bro after the fact, but that was just plain cruel.Indebted to Father Kearney for his care of the orphanage where he grew up, Tuohay is determined to bring those responsible for his death to justice. His questions lead to a series of mystery murders/suicides of a priest and a master jewel thief, followed by a string of cryptic messages all linking to the whereabouts of the missing diamond. There is also a cycle of deception. One priest kept the diamond’s existence to himself, faked his death and hid the diamond’s pieces in a stained glass window of a church during its restoration.The book has a very Dan Brown feel to it. It’s filled with mystery and suspense, it’s also very well researched. I really liked it. My Goddess though, Tuohay.
