Book Review: Annie's Attic Mysteries #4 - Letters In the Attic - DeAnna Julie Dodson

Annie is up in the attic again, this time she discovers a stack of letters from an old childhood friend.

Whatever happened to Susan Morris? Although they spent a lot of time in the summer at Grey Gables, Gran's house, and kept in touch whenever Annie went home, by the time Susan went to college they no longer wrote to each other.

For Annie, life was filled with a husband, a child, and the family auto dealership. Still, maybe she should have kept in touch. Especially now that her husband had died, her child was grown and she was retired and the new owner of Grey Gables.

It sends Annie on a mission to find Susan. Along the way she tries to make friends with a woman who's husband appears controlling and abusive, and she meets a charming man from Susan's past. Maybe he holds the key to the mystery of Susan.

And of course there's still Tuesday mornings with the Hook and Needle club, who love to help Annie solver her mysteries. Adventures with her best friend Alice MacFarlane, and the continual fixing up of Grey Gables to her former glory.

There's some gripping scenes here as the ending is played out. Again, a wonderful cozy mystery.
