" My favorite Maisie Dobbs book thus far. Perhaps a bit more predictible than the last two, but I finally actually like and identify with Maisie in a way that I had not in the prior books. Sometimes Winspear gets a touch verbose in the descriptions of things (in this one clothes seemed to be a big deal). But for people who like that style of writing then they'd appreciate it. "

" As excellent as the previous two--maybe even better. "

" The second Maisie Dobbs book I've read (I missed the first one), it's a good read. A bit denser than your typical cosy mystery, but entertaining and surprising. Each Maisie story is as much a journey into Maisie's life as it is about the crime she's solving. Sometimes it's a bit heavy on the personal drama (Maisie has a breakdown in this one) and spiritualism (like creating psychic sheilds against ghosts) but the core is solid. "

" good read, A few decent twists, a bit too coincidental on two cases being intertwined, but still, well thought out. interesting read. "

" When is it better to lie than to tell the truth? There are many lies in this Maisie Dobbs' installment. Maisie must make some difficult decisions about what to tell a client, and she discovers that even those she trusts are capable of telling lies. Maisie travels to France to investigate the deaths of two WWI aviators. In the process she faces up to some lies she's told herself, and undergoes some serious soul-searching. Another engrossing read! "

" OK, I needed to procrastinate--plus a reward for having and executing an excellent lesson plan today. "

" Another wonderful Maisie Dobbs book. With this book Winspear begins to set up Hitler's rise to power in Germany and the 2nd great war to come. Maisie is forced to face the demons she thought she had left in France while researching how two soldiers died. "

Barbara | 11/30/2013
" A period piece set after WWI starring investigator and psychologist Maisie Dobbs. "
-




Beth | 11/30/2013
" This series is my current book candy. "
-




Carol | 1/16/2013
" Another good book in the series. I do suggest that you not start reading the series with this book as the author refers to events that happened in Books 1 and 2. Also, she relies upon your memory as to the background of the characters. "

Cheryle | 2/11/2011
" Set in England and France in 1930, this character brings a new dimension to crime novels. Very well written and very interesting. Because of the setting the modes and manners are so different from today that it is refreshing to read. "

" I haven't updated this list in a while, but when I saw that I was last reading "Pardonable Lies," I had a hard time remembering what the book was about. So, it may have all right, but I really don't remember it well at all. "

Terri | 8/25/2007
" Fun series- Maisie is a detective in London as they all recover from World War 1. "
-




Heidi | 3/11/2007
" I love this series, almost more for the historical fiction part than the mystery part, but they're really good all the same. "
-




Nicole | 9/7/2006
" I wish I could have sat down and read without interruption as, at times, it felt as though there were too many issues going on at once, (though this mirrored Maisie's state of mind). Once again, the author has created a very interesting historical read about the post-WWI time period in England. "
