Book Reviews of Maisie Dobbs
Book Review: Excellent book.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was excellent. I don't normally read "mysteries", but this was a great book. The Maisie Dobbs' books take place in England, and cover the early part of the 20th century--WWI and after. I loved it so much, I read the rest in the series and eagerly await more. Book Review: The empathetic sleuth

Summary: 5 Stars
I wouldn't classify myself as a mystery reader. However, I stumbled onto the Mary Russell books three years ago as a result of a book club recommendations, and have found myself very carefully choosing mysteries in the same genre - strong female characters, different time period. I picked up two series at the recommendation of Amazon reader reviews - the Fremont Jones books and this series. I have not been disappointed with either Fremont or Maisy. But would have to say Maisy Dobbs is a much stronger series - and less frilly than Fremont. Once I started this - I couldn't put it down. Loaned it to my mother - and she quickly read it and told all her friends, declaring it her favorite for the year. Highly recommended.
