pickReread this for book club. Winspear writes about the effects of war on the protagonist, Maisie Dobbs, with an eye to the tragic. She can write a lovely sentence laced with deep sentiment. The mystery was interesting. There was a bit too much going on but overall, it was quite good.
pickMaisie confronts political change in #14 in this series.
It‘s 1940.Britain & France are at war with Germany.Maisie is hired to investigate the disappearance of a young man who is working on a secret contract.During the investigative process,Maisie discovers links to the underworld,a beloved friend‘s son goes missing,& allied forces are stranded on the French Coast of Dunkirk.Each of these events affect Maisie‘s life. #serieslove2024
