"No one seems to recognize the young man caught in the background of some old photos that Annie found in the attic of Grey Gables. But Mary Beth, owner of A Stitch in Time, turns strangely pale when Annie shows the photos at the Hook and Needle Club meeting. Annie is determined to find out who this stranger is and what became of him. His young, sad face haunts her and she feels compelled to unearth his story. Then disturbing information gleaned from old newspapers and a seemingly unrelated hit-and-run accident injuring her handyman's daughter, Emily, seem to bring danger closer and closer to Annie as she pursues the truth about the young man in the photos"--Publisher's description.

This book was much better than the first book. I love mysteries and this one kept me hooked until the end. I thought the writing was overly descriptive and dramatic but I got used to it as I read. This author obviously has more experience than the author of the second book which I really didn't like at all. I liked that the story wasn't so obvious. Of course I knew which character was trouble but I didn't know all the details like I did with the first book (less than 50 pages in). I can say I am glad I read this story.
I found this book and the first from the series at a used bookstore. After reading the first and second books I didn't think I wanted to read any more of them. The idea of the old Victorian house with an attic full of treasures and mysteries to unravel intrigued me. I finally picked this one up and decided to read it anyway. I'm glad I did and now I want the others too.
