"The Lady in the Attic" is just a nice non-murder, soft mystery. Annie Dawson looses her husband and then her grandmother who had been living in Maine where Annie had spent her summers as a child. She leaves Texas and her daughter and grandchildren to return to Maine to settle her grandmother's estate. The mystery starts when Annie finds a recent cross stitch that her grandmother had left in the attic. It contained an image of a lady and unlike any of her other work. The mystery is about who the lady in the cross stitch actually is. It is a sweet story of how old friends reconnect and how new friends are made. The entire summer and experience helps Annie move beyond the loneliness of loosing her husband. I was surprised at the non positive reviews. It is a nice, engaging story but definitely not hard core mystery or suspense.
