3rd in the Maisie Dobbs mystery series
I love the character development and personal conflicts of this series. Maisie has her demons but also a wonderful strength and an unusual gift which helps her solve crimes the police would otherwise bungle. In this book the Detective Inspector gives her more professional respect, and more than a little personal admiration, but Maisie still has to use her calm mental powers and backbone of steel to stand firm against the bullies in the male-dominated police system. When she comes up against the government's secret intelligence community it gets personal - and more convoluted than she could dream. The setting of post-World War I England is perfect for exploring the problems of a young woman, and a society, dealing with modern horrors that smash every proper Victorian ideal. Jacqueline Winspear holds up a mirror for single intelligent women, then & now, who won't give up identity or personal goals to "settle". Leisamarie

Detective/Crime Genre
As a whodonit mystery this works well, but has some serious flaws IMHO. The main characters are a married couple, Nick and Nora, living the good life in New York. The plot winds nicely around a series of murders and red herrings unraveled by Nick. That he has any reasoning power at all is a surprise because he's obviously a problem drinker. At one point Nora remarks that she'd like him to stay sober for a day, and he replies he didn't come to New York to stay sober and demands she give him a drink... before breakfast. And yet we're to assume he has the mental ability to figure out the complicated crime. I realize this novel was written before alcoholism was fully recognized as the disease it is, but it's a pity that excessive drinking is so glamorized.
