Among the Mad: A Maisie Dobbs Novel Audiobook

" It is 1931-2. A young man detonates himself in front of Maisie Dobbs. Scotland Yard is receiving threatening letters. Birds, dogs and a government worker are dead. A look at the plight of those called to war and then forgotten. Also the effects, damage and horrific consequences of chemical warfare. "

" Fabulous!! Maisie enters the larger world of Special Services and their interest in chemical warfare. She also develops an interest in photography. "

" I read some Maisie Dobbs novels a few years ago. "

" One of my favorite of the recently read Maisie Dobbs. "

" Another good entry into the MAISIE DOBBS series. I seem to be reading back to back books on the same subject matter. Following up Dick Francis' latest with a mental illness story line with this which gives a great account of 1932 England's treatment of the mentally ill. Of course there is a post-WWI story line as usual. Very suspensefull ending. "

" This book broke my heart. It makes you see how terrible war really is, especially the mental aftermath. The secret groups and missions make you wonder if war is ever really worth it. I love the writing style of Jacqueline Winspear. "

" so far, this is my favorite of the series!! "

" a darker book than the previous ones; warm, personal, promising finish though. Continue to really enjoy this series. "

" I am still not quite sure I really take to Maisie Dobbs, but I enjoyed this story with its multiple variants of emotional damage. Ironically it was made bearable by one sufferer seeking to fight back in the most terrible fashion. "

" I love this series. An intelligent heroine. "

" I galloped through this one--it was definitely suspenseful and held my interest. However I don't really remember it anymore so I would have to say I found it less emotionally involving than some of the others. Still, a good read. "

" Initially I had trouble getting into this book--and I've liked the rest of this series very much. But as the story grew and developed, I really enjoyed it--and I am looking forward to seeing where Maisie will go from here. "

" Another great read from this author. I love this series. Of course, I love historical fiction. "

" This was the first Maisie Dobbs book that felt like a mystery and had a sense of urgency to it. I've enjoyed getting into the setting and time period and seeing Maisie develop over the course of six novels. I can't wait for her next adventure. "

" The most intense & disturbing entry in the series yet, but absolutely compelling. Jacqueline Winspear is amazing at writing a book you want very much to read about topics you'd rather not think about. "

" I really enjoy the Maisie Dobbs books. The characters are great, and the stories are usually page-turners. I'm always glad I've read these books, but they're not amazing or surprising. "

" Still loving Maisie Dobbs! "

" A reasonably reliable series. This one's a bit more grim, I think, about the plight of war-scarred men and government indifference. "

" Another great Maisie Dobbs book. "

" The newest in the Masie Dobbs novels is very compeling. I really enjoyed this book. It's set on the brink of WWII. You see Masie develop as a character and start to follow her heart more frequently. "

" "Forgetting has never been of concern to me, Inspector. It's the remembering that gives me pause." "

" Another great mystery for Maisie and her assistant Billy Beale. Winspear hits all the right notes on post WWI Britian and the changes in social structure for women, the lower classes and the country at the beginning of the end of Empire. "

" Read in 24 hours just about says it all. "

" Not my favorite of the series, but I always enjoy a Maiseie Dobbs mystery:) "

" Really good - couldn't put it down! "

" This is among my favorite Maisie Dobbs books. I loved the storyline. "

" If you've been reading this series, keep reading. It's excellent "

" a great "mystery" about the effects of war and loneliness "

" Another great read. Winspear always manages to throw a logical but surprising twist to the story. Must admit I was a bit bummed it didn't turn out 'right'--a bit like an episode from Foyle's War. "

" I read some Maisie Dobbs novels a few years ago. "

" I just love Maisie Dobbs. Hope she finds another love in the end, I am just a romantic sap.... "

" I like this "Maisie Dobbs" series. While it's 1930's London, it has a modern feel bc of some of the ideas. It also shows how far forensics has come in solving crimes. "

" The sixth of the Massie Dobbs novels. Massie is a private detective with intuitive abilities in 1930's London. I recommend this series. I think they would stand alone, but it would be best to start with the first one, "Massie Dobbs", to get her background. "

" Another great mystery...but I wonder about the next book and if Maisie might be getting a beau? "

" I love these books for their detail, and the social messages. Maisie is a great heroine, very real. "

" This is my least favorite of the Maisie Dobbs books probably because of the "creepy" factor with the character who turned out to be the murderer. "
