Jacqueline Winspear's Maise Dobbs
A mystery reading friend has been telling me to read this series and since I have not been terribly interested in period novels, had not taken her up on the suggestion.
In April, I was visiting her in MN and in one of our favorite mystery book shops. There was a hardback at a great price so I picked it up and have been hooked since that time. Birds of a Feather was another great read and the historical info on post WWI in England makes this series all the more interesting. Maisie is a woman ahead of her time and Ms. Winspear's character devlopment as well as Maise's method for solving the crime is unique.
Please give this series a try!
