Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear



I do appreciate recommendations from you all although sometimes it stretches me out of my reading comfort zone.

I don't usually read Mystery novels, but this one was recommended to me. This book takes place in the early 1900s England. It's the story of Maisie, whose mum dies when she is a young gal. She works as a maid where her intellectual talent is discovered and nurtured. There's also war, love, and grief.

It took awhile to get into it, but then I got sucked in, but I found the ending to be a bit shallow and disappointing. This is Book 1 in a series, and right now, I don't think I'm gonna pick up #2.
