Jacqueline Winspear's Leaving Everything Most Loved
Hooray for a new Maisie Dobbs novel, and one that I liked a lot more than the last one. Of course, I'm predisposed to like this series, because historical mysteries starring smart and/or sassy lady detectives = one of my favorite genres. And Maisie is a particularly interesting example, plus this is a pretty solid mystery, involving the murder of a young Indian woman who was beloved by everyone who met her. There's also a missing schoolboy to be found, lots of secrets to be revealed, and class and race issues to contend with. Plus Maisie's companion wants to get married. Things end on a really fascinating note for the series--I'm really looking forward to seeing where Winspear is going with this. B+.
