About this product

Product Information

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.

  • Period Drama, Perfect...

    I have always loved British period drama's and mysteries. Jacqueline Winspear paints a perfect picture of Maisie Dodds and her adventure's, with descriptive narratives that mingle perfectly with the imagination of what you make of the depicted scene's. The books are easy reads not because they are simplistic, but because they are so well detailed. I wouldn't have any problem recommending the Maisie Dodds collection to anyone who love's british period drama's or mysteries.

  • Casually comfortable mystery.

    First in this series, Maisie Dobbs does a great job of getting you started and will entice you to read further along in the series. These are interesting lightweight mysteries set in the time period just after World War 1 though mostly about the affect of lives afterwards.
