    <![CDATA[  Jacqueline Winspear’s marvelous and inspired debut, <em>Maisie Dobbs</em>, won her   fans from coast to coast and raised her intuitive, intelligent, and resourceful heroine to the   ranks of literature’s favorite sleuths. <em>Birds of a Feather</em> finds Maisie Dobbs on   another dangerously intriguing adventure in London &quot;between the wars.&quot; It is the spring   of 1930, and Maisie has been hired to find a runaway heiress. But what seems a simple   case at the outset soon becomes increasingly complicated when three of the heiress’s old   friends are found dead. Is there a connection between the woman’s mysterious   disappearance and the murders? Who would want to kill three seemingly respectable   young women? As Maisie investigates, she discovers that the answers lie in the   unforgettable agony of the Great War.]]>

This is because the part I liked best about the first book was the middle section, which was a flashback to the first world war, ten years before the setting of the rest of the book.

    <![CDATA[  Jacqueline Winspear’s marvelous and inspired debut, <em>Maisie Dobbs</em>, won her   fans from coast to coast and raised her intuitive, intelligent, and resourceful heroine to the   ranks of literature’s favorite sleuths. <em>Birds of a Feather</em> finds Maisie Dobbs on   another dangerously intriguing adventure in London &quot;between the wars.&quot; It is the spring   of 1930, and Maisie has been hired to find a runaway heiress. But what seems a simple   case at the outset soon becomes increasingly complicated when three of the heiress’s old   friends are found dead. Is there a connection between the woman’s mysterious   disappearance and the murders? Who would want to kill three seemingly respectable   young women? As Maisie investigates, she discovers that the answers lie in the   unforgettable agony of the Great War.]]>
