Enjoyed this book in the series. Nice to be getting to know all of the main characters in more detail. Enjoyed the veteran angle and hope in further stories to continue to know more about these people. Nice cozy, easy mystery. Good reading.

A lovely story of love, forgiveness and setting past records straight. When Annie returns to Shady Point, Maine after her beloved grandmother dies she makes a discovery in the attic which is a complete mystery to her. A carved box with military medals and a couple photos. Her grandfather's medals are all on display in the house and his military records do not show that he was a Purple Heart recipient. Wonderful story.

Love these stories they make me feel like I'm right there in Stony Point with Annie and her friends.

The Annie's Attic stories are very simple to read, sweet stories, but great who-dunit type books. I didn't guess the ending until it happened, which is always the makings of a good mystery!

Loved this addition to the series!
The characters are becoming like close friends. An enjoyable, quick cozy mystery.

Each of these Annie's Attic Mysteries books, though sharing a common cast of characters, are written by different authors, tackling a different 'found object' and its mystery. None of them have been intensive about sharing needlework or crafting techniques, as some other series do, and thus may hold appeal to anyone who likes an easy-reading mystery but doesn't care about needlework or crafts per se. This story is centered around the finding of a carved box displaying two WWII medals that don't seem to belong to Annie's grandfather, and thus begins her adventure in trying to figure out to whom they DO belong. She uncovers a story of honor, valor, loss, heartache and undeserved shame, and finally honor restored. This is a nicely written story that puts a lot of emphasis on Christian values, including friendship and revealing truth in the midst of lies. While in general, I'm not a big fan of series in which different authors share a common cast of characters, because they rarely do so seamlessly (though thus far, these authors haven't done too badly), this series is proving to be enjoyable, because each author has brought something new and unique to Annie's story that has been worth the occasional little continuity problem between books.
This wasn't my favorite of the Annie's Attic series, but still good. I recommend this series to anyone who enjoy good clean reading with a light mystery.

This was even better than the first book in the series. I see it will be hard to get the next books as they are not available on PBS. Maybe someone will post them sometime! Loved the new adventure for Annie in this, it made me cry, this is a must read, I am falling in love with all of the characters in this series!

Like all of Cathy Elliott's "Annie Mysteries" his was a fast read. And keeps you guessing.
