Jacqueline Winspear deserved all the awards she won with this title! Winspear created vibrant and realistic characters who live in a time where society struggles to adapt to the deluge of changes brought about by the Great War. Accurately weaving in the early 20th century's turbulent history, Winspear successfully unfolds several plots in her first mystery novel.
Maisie Dobbs, the daughter of a costermonger, uses her gifted intellect to cross social lines and move from being a scullery maid to owning her own investigative business where she is Psychologist and Investigator. Her first case, a seemingly ordinary question of infidelity, leads Maisie on an even greater journey where Maisie must revisit a past she had locked deep inside. With dear friends and family by her side, Maisie Dobbs discovers the truth about not only her past, but the dark secrets the Great War has created for many others, too.
