Maisie Dobbs is a great character, very likeable and very resourceful, originating from humble beginnings and entering service before being singled out for her academic abilities by her employer. Maisie spends time as a nurse in World War I, attends university and gets mentored by an intriguing gentleman, before finding her niche as a private investigator.
Throughout her investigations, Maisie is aided by her sidekick, war veteran Billy Beale, and together they take on cases that include murder, disappearances and even a bit of smuggling.
With a well-depicted 1920s/1930 backdrop, set in London and Kent, these stories make enjoyable and intriguing reading, in which you can really ‘lose yourself’. Highly recommended.
