“Maisie Dobbs” is simply of a higher caliber than most mysteries. The writing is great, Maisie the character is likable at once, & the mystery is first rate.

Enjoyable Debut Novel
Maisie Dobbs reminded me of a grown-up, British, Upstairs-Downstairs World War I Nancy Drew. Overall, it was a delightfully and politely paced mystery.

two for the price of one
I liked this book. Really, I did. The writing is wonderful. But I was a little confused about what kind of book it wanted to be. Was it a mystery?

“The extraordinary hides behind the camouflage of the ordinary.”
When I picked this Agatha Award Winner for First Novel to read I was expecting a great cozy mystery, but I was dead wrong. I got much, much more!

A lucky literary find!
I feel fortunate to have read this delightful book! You should be forewarned, if you have a Kindle and want the next in the series, you are out of luck for now.
