Description
Maisie Dobbs isn’t just any young housemaid. Through her own natural intelligence—and the patronage of her benevolent employers—she works her way into college at Cambridge. When World War I breaks out, Maisie goes to the front as a nurse. It is there that she learns that coincidences are meaningful and the truth elusive. After the War, Maisie sets up on her own as a private investigator. But her very first assignment, seemingly an ordinary infidelity case, soon reveals a much deeper, darker web of secrets, which will force Maisie to revisit the horrors of the Great War and the love she left behind.

I picked up this book from the library after my mother recommended it to me over the holidays. I love a well-researched historical fiction, and Jacqueline Winspear seems to have done her due diligence, from what I can tell (not a scholar). Maisie is a very interesting protagonist, and I am looking forward to getting to know her better, as well as learning more about the methods of investigation that she learned from Maurice.
