Second book in the Maisie Dobbs series. Winner of the Agatha Award for best mystery novel of the year. Extremely clever plot.

Another enjoyable entry in Winspear's Maisie Dobbs series. Combines an interesting mystery with great characterizations and a detailed sense of time (post WWI) and place (Britain).

I like Maisie Dobbs, "Psychologist & Investigator"�, and protagonist of this book as well as the series debut Maisie Dobbs. The books are set in the years after the end of the Great War (later to become WWI). The books are filled with rich historical detail, and I learn a lot about a period in time I am not that familiar with. What I don't like is the pace of the books, they are just a tad too slow, and could use with a little more brisk pacing.

This mystery follows Maisie looking for a runaway heiress, Charlotte Waite. In her investigations Maisie learns of three old acquaintances of Ms. Waite's that have been recently murdered. What is the link between the three, and who is killing these women? With an introduction of a possible love triangle in the next book, I found this an enjoyable story, though as I said before somewhat slow going.

This book is excellent as always Maisie Dobbs makes crime stopping fun and makes you want to hold your breath!

Couldn't wait to read the second in this series-and its another page turner! Scullery maid becomes private detective in England right after WWI. Great mystery-fascinating characters and some romance to top it off

Even better than the first book. I couldn't put it down.

A well written interesting book.

If you like your female investigator to have a respect for the importance of intuition and listening to your heart, you will like this book and others by this author.

This is the second mystery in the Maisie Dobbs series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. These books are set in England between the two world wars, and Winspear sketches in nice details of the time and the setting. Maisie Dobbs (private investigator and "psychologist") is a great character, having grown up working class, served as a nurse during WWI, and moving now in upper class circles. She uses meditation and centering to help her solve her cases, which is a neat idea.

GREAT book and series!

Winner of the Agatha Award! It is the spring of 1930 and Maisie has been hired to find a runaway heiress. When three of the heiress's old friends are found dead, Maisie must race to find out who would want to kill these seemingly respectable young women before it's too late. As Maisie investigates, she discovers that the answers lie in the unforgettable agony of the Great War.

Well-done mystery by a Brit. Set in 1930's England...well-done atmosphere.

Maisie Dobbs, a former WWI British army nurse, continues her adventures in post-war London, as a combination investigator and psychologist.
