Maisie Dobbs

Post-war detective navigates secrets and personal ghosts.

If you're into mysteries with a rich historical backdrop, Maisie Dobbs could be just what you're looking for. Imagine striding alongside an unconventional female detective as she tackles her first case in the shadow of the Great War. It's not just about the suspense; Maisie's depth of character and the interwoven social issues of the time make this novel a thought-provoking journey as much as it is an intriguing whodunnit.

Description

Maisie Dobbs isn't just any young housemaid. Through her own natural intelligence and the patronage of her benevolent employers, she works her way into college at Cambridge. When World War I breaks out, Maisie goes to the front as a nurse. It is there that she learns that coincidences are meaningful and the truth elusive. After the War, Maisie sets up on her own as a private investigator. But her very first assignment, seemingly an ordinary infidelity case, soon reveals a much deeper, darker web of secrets, which will force Maisie to revisit the horrors of the Great War and the love she left behind.
