false <![CDATA[Pardonable Lies (Maisie Dobbs, #3)]]> 7432 12 In the third novel of this bestselling series, London investigator Maisie Dobbs faces grave danger as she returns to the site of her most painful WWI memories to resolve the mystery of a pilot's death. <br>Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone. Alexander McCall Smith's Precious Ramotswe. Every once in a while, a detective bursts on the scene who captures readers' hearts-and imaginations-and doesn't let go. And so it was with Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs, who made her debut just two years ago in the eponymously titled first book of the series, and is already on her way to becoming a household name. nbsp;A deathbed plea from his wife leads Sir Cecil Lawton to seek the aid of Maisie Dobbs, psychologist and investigator. As Maisie soon learns, Agnes Lawton never accepted that her aviator son was killed in the Great War, a torment that led her not only to the edge of madness but to the doors of those who practice the dark arts and commune with the spirit world. nbsp;In accepting the assignment, Maisie finds her spiritual strength tested, as well as her regard for her mentor, Maurice Blanche. The mission also brings her together once again with her college friend Priscilla Evernden, who served in France and who lost three brothers to the war-one of whom, it turns out, had an intriguing connection to the missing Ralph Lawton.nbsp;Following on the heels of the triumphant Birds of a Feather, Pardonable Lies is the most compelling installment yet in the chronicles of Maisie Dobbs, "a heroine to cherish" (Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review). 1751542 book 2005 Pardonable Lies (Maisie Dobbs Mysteries, #3) total:1171|5:22|4:29|3:21|2:5|1:2| 1171 4658 1445 154 4 1 false false Thu Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Aug 21 07:51:31 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 21 15:18:30 -0700 2008

Loved how the cases intertwine and you learn more about Maurice (confirmed my earlier thoughts about his activities during WWI).
