Our more modern English mystery for October's group read will be Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear. It is the first in a series featuring former servant Maisie Dobbs, and set in 1929 London. "Maisie Dobbs starts her own business as a psychologist and investigator in this unique and gripping historical mystery series."

My sister-in-law recommended this one ... she was given a whole bag of books in the series, and quickly got hooked!

Who will be joining in?

Ellen | 228 comments I was in on the beginning of this great series. Jacqueline Winspear's first stop on her book tour for Maisie Dobbs was Houston at Murder by the Book. She made Murder by the Book her first stop on all her subsequent books tours and I only missed a couple of them. Love author visits and independent book stores.

Kelly (sunny_reader_girl) | 41 comments I'm in! I haven't participated in a while, but this fits perfectly for another book challenge and I've owned it for a long time.

Jackie | 187 comments I requested the ebook from my library but haven't gotten it yet, however the audio book is available now. So I can start that today, but my progress will be slow. It always is with an audio book.

Jackie | 187 comments I started the audio book and it's going much faster than usual. I like it and am glad it's the beginning of a series. I always feel like having a series you enjoy and knowing there are more to read is like money in the bank. sort of.
