4th Maisie Dobbs book (and they SHOULD be read in order.) Maisie investigates the apparently accidental death of a controversial artist. As in all the Maisie Dobbs books, the "murder" is less important than the characters, all of whom are suffering from the Depression and the other after effects of WWI. The coming WWII is foreshadowed in the politics of the day. Touching, often wrenching, never dull. Difficult to put down.
