| Maisie Dobbs is a remarkable woman - starting at a young age being a maid on a large estate, then school in Cambridge, another change to a nurse during the war and finally an investigator after the war. Maisie uses her unusual talents to find the people who are responsible for the exploitation of the veterans of the war who have been damaged physically as well as mentally. | |
| Following the story of Maisie and seeing how she becomes the person she does was great. I have read several of her later stories, now seeing her background, will help as I follow her adventures. |
