pickAnother stellar performance from Winspear. As I've said before and I'll say it again because it bears repeating, this series just improves with age. This was a bit different (although all of Maisie's adventures are unique) in that it involved both a current case and an unexpected 10-year cold case. The present-day case centers around fraud conspiracy while the cold case entails murder, lies and coverups. While both cases were absorbing,
pickNot my favorite Maisie Dobbs. Still, always a nice visit.

A friend & I started the CT Book Trail today. Visited two stores in a beautiful part of Connecticut. First we went to Washington Depot( home of the Gilmore Girls) bookstore, The Hickory Stick. After that we went to Kent, CT & House of Books. We have 14 more indie bookstores to go! I loved discovering unseen, unheard of ( to me)books.
Winspear's writing is always thought provoking, but this book in particular was a step above for me. There is a theme of fire throughout the story, with multiple connotations, that I found insightful and interesting and also well done in comparison to the character development of Maisie.
Again, wonderful reading on every level. 5/5 stars
