I would put this in the cozy mystery category although the end does go a bit past "cozy" in my opinion. I liked that Annie wanted to reconnect with a long lost friend and took steps to try to find her. I liked that Annie's heart seems to go out to "strays" and want to make them feel a part of the community or like they have a friend. I too have a high school friend that I wish I'd been a better friend to at the time--but I haven't been successful at reconnecting with her or finding her.

SPOILER ALERT: I guessed that Sandy might be Susan long before it was revealed--though I thought she might be in witness protection with Tom being an agent posing as her husband rather than really her husband who knew the whole story and was bent on protecting his wife. ( )

Easy reading, very enjoyable ( )
