2024 book 124

 Jacqueline Winspear's The Consequences of Fear

I remembered why I hadn’t read the last few books in this series: I’m just not that into them! I had a conversation recently with Christina about how they fit some of the tropes of a cozy mystery (all the focus on family and friends), but they’re not cozy at all. They’re bleak as hell! Anyway, this one involves a little messenger boy witnessing a murder, but only Maisie believes him. Also she’s training spies now so there’s a lot of business with that. I’m going to take a break from these for a bit, I do plan on reading the last two eventually just to see how it all turns out, but I find these books mildly frustrating. B.
