More compelling than book 1. But still so predictable. Love that the same person narrates every audiobook in the series. She’s fabulous!

Well written, with plenty of historical detail, but almost painfully slow moving.

As noted previously, I am a fan of this series about an interesting young woman carving out an unusual career for the time period while dealing with the aftermath of World War I. Each book reveals a facet of history that I did not know before and often, it is brutal in its implications. Since I have just read another in the series and am in the midst of the last book, I will continue to my next review.

I only read the first novel. How can one not love Maisie. Not much of a mystery, but a great character. A large part of the book, probaby half, is generating a background for Miss Dobbs and the other great characters. Loved the book.

I enjoy the psychological and spiritual approach the character takes to her investigations - more about the process of making people whole rather than the crime or other reason clients seek her assistance.

I enjoy these Maisie Dobbs mysteries. The setting is after WWI in London as society is changing and she pursues a career of investigator/psychologist....a very unusual career for a young woman. Reminds me of Agatha Christie but with better plots and writing!
