Book Review: Annie's Attic Mysteries #2 - Medals in the Attic - Cathy Elliot

Medals in the Attic

 In this episode to the series, Annie finds a carved wooden case with a glass top. Nestled in the case are two military medals. She knows they aren't her grandfathers, those are proudly displayed in the living room.

So who do these medals belong to and why did her grandmother Betsy have them?Annie knows she needs to find the owner of these medals and this sets her on a journey that reveals a secret that causes someone to become very angry with her.

It also creates misunderstanding with a new friend that causes hard feelings within the hook and needle club. Let's face it. Women can be difficult. But then so can men and as it turns out, it is a man that causes this little scuffle. Sometimes it's not easy being the new kid in town.

While she tries to solve the mystery Annie is also renovating her kitchen at Grey Gables, and looking for things to donate to the local charity auction, plus she's getting closer to the local mayor Ian Butler.

The wonderful thing about a series whether it be books or TV shows, is that there's time to flesh out characters and revisit favorite places. If you like New England fishing towns, cozy mysteries, people with imperfections, and crafts, this is a lovely series to read.  As stated before, the writing isn't the best but that's because of the formula aspect of having all the works sound the same.

It will leave you wanting to visit Stoney Point, Maine again and again.
