What Members Thought
Parts of this novel were so heart-wrenching, it really should have come with a tissue warning.
I felt like there was a little too much tell, not show, especially in the flashback, which threw me for a couple of weeks (thank goodness for library extensions) but I did finish.
Fun first in a series of mysteries with a smart female detective center stage.
This first book in the Maisie Dobbs series was wonderful. I was immediately captured by this woman who is so independent in a time when women were still learning how to be so. And you learn more about her as the mystery goes on, culminating in a surprising revelation that makes you realize a whole other side to her. I look forward to reading more in this series.
