What an enjoyable series! It's just so "cozy".

In this eighth of the series, there's an Egyptian cat discovered in Grandma's attic. What a treasure trove.

I really enjoyed this latest story from Grandma's Attic. I liked the interaction among the characters as they solve the mystery and navigate the wedding events that take priority. The historical glimpses definitely add to the story.

Amy is busy getting ready for a family wedding, having company stay at her house when Selene arrives with looking for an Egyptian statue. She said it has brought bad luck to her family since a relative stole it from a tomb. There was so much extra about the wedding and family meals, you just wanted to say get on with the story enough about the wedding.

Enjoyed this installment in the Secrets from Grandma’s Attic series. The mystery was good and the secondary story with the family wedding was cool.
