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.
