Young, feisty Maisie Dobbs has recently set herself up as a private
detective. Such a move may not seem especially startling. But this
is 1929, and Maisie is exceptional in many ways. Having started as
a maid to the London aristocracy, studied her way to Cambridge and
served as a nurse in the Great War, Maisie has wisdom, experience
and understanding beyond her years. Little does she realise the
extent to which this strength of character is soon to be tested.
For her first case forces her to uncover secrets long buried, and
to confront ghosts from her own past...In Maisie, Jacqueline
Winspear has created a character that readers will immediately take
to their hearts. Her first case combines a gripping investigation
with a moving portrait of love and loss. It marks the beginning of
a wonderful new detective series.
