Macavity Award Winner for Best First Novel
Alex Award Winner
Fiercely independent Maisie Dobbs has recently set herself up as a private detective. Such a move may not seem especially startling. But this is 1929, and Maisie is exceptional in many ways.
Having started as a maid to the London aristocracy, studied her way to Cambridge and served as a nurse in the Great War, Maisie has wisdom, experience and understanding beyond her years. Little does she realise the extent to which this strength of character is soon to be tested. For her first case forces her to uncover secrets long buried, and to confront ghosts from her own past . . .

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.
