Introducing the delightful Maisie Dobbs, private investigator of love and war, guaranteed to be embraced by crime readers everywhere. Young, feisty Maisie Dobbs has recently set herself up as a private detective. Such a move may not seem especially startling. But this is 1929, and Maisie is exceptional in many ways. Having been maid to the London aristocracy, studied her way through Cambridge and having served as a nurse in the Great War, Maisie has wisdom, experience and understanding beyond her years. But her first case forces her to uncover secrets long buried and to confront ghosts from her own past... In Maisie Dobbs, Jacqueline Winspear has created a character that readers will immediately take to their hearts. It marks the beginning of a wonderful new detective series. 'Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs is a welcome addition to the'sleuthing scene. Simultaneously self-reliant and vulnerable, Maisie isn't a character l'll easily forget,' Elizabeth George.

'In Maisie Dobbs, Jacqueline Winspear has given us a real gift. Maisie Dobbs has not been created - she has been discovered. Such people are always there amongst us, waiting for somebody like Ms. Winspear to come along and reveal them. And what a revelation it is!' -- Alexander McCall Smith 20060515 'It's a long time since I've read a crime novel that begins as well as Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs ... well written ... [Jacqueline Winspear] is set fair for a very bright future as a crime novelist.' -- Simon Brett, Daily Mail 20040806 'Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs is a welcome addition to the sleuthing scene. Simultaneously self-reliant and vulnerable, Maisie isn't a character I'll easily forget' -- Elizabeth George 20040806 'Readers sensing a story-within-a-story won't be disappointed. But first, they must prepare to be astonished at the sensitivity and wisdom with which Maisie resolves her first professional assignment' -- New York Times 20040806 'A wry and immensely readable beginning to what promises to be a vivid new addition to crime fiction' -- Mail on Sunday 20040806 'Even if detective stories aren't your thing, you'll love Maisie Dobbs' -- New Woman 20040801 'The book is much more than a cosy mystery - it is also about women's growing emancipation and the profound changes to society after the First World War.' -- Mail on Sunday's You 20050403
