2024 book 122

 Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs

I was in the mood to read a historical mystery, and this is the book club pick for this month, so I figured I’d go ahead and reread it and catch up on the last few books in the series (normally I like to read the book club pick right before we meet so the details are fresh, but the heart wants what it wants, and mine wants a historical mystery!). I forgot this is like BARELY a mystery, more a historical novel set in 1929 about a woman opening a sort of detective agency and also dealing with PTSD from being a nurse in WWI. She does investigate a shady retreat for wounded soldiers, but this book is mainly giving her (interesting!) backstory. We'll see how book club likes it!
