Maisie Dobbs Horror Book Review

  Hailed by NPR’s Fresh Air as part Testament of Youth, part Dorothy   Sayers, and part Upstairs, Downstairs, this astonishing debut has already   won fans from coast to coast and is poised to add Maisie Dobbs to the ranks of   literature’s favorite sleuths.

  Maisie Dobbs isn’t just any young housemaid. Through her own natural   intelligence—and the patronage of her benevolent employers—she works her way   into college at Cambridge. When World War I breaks out, Maisie goes to the front   as a nurse. It is there that she learns that coincidences are meaningful and the   truth elusive. After the War, Maisie sets up on her own as a private   investigator. But her very first assignment, seemingly an ordinary infidelity   case, soon reveals a much deeper, darker web of secrets, which will force Maisie   to revisit the horrors of the Great War and the love she left behind.
