by Jacqueline Winspear. This is the first in this great series of mystery novels that take place in time before and after WWI, leading into WWII. If you like historical fiction, you will love Maisie Dobbs. You will fall in love with the characters who are fantastically alive and wonderfully rendered. There are now 7 in total in the series. The next installment is due out next spring.
Maisie, the daughter of a struggling greengrocer, was 13 when she was sent to work for a wealthy London Aristocrat. Little does she know this is an event that will change her life forever. After working her way through Cambridge she goes and serves as a nurse on the front during the Great War. Now 10 years later, she opens her own detective agency. Her first case will take her on a trip back in time, back to the war and ghosts she had left behind.
