An Incomplete Revenge

In her fifth outing, Maisie Dobbs, psychologist and private investigator, journeys to a village in the Kent countryside on assignment to check out a proposed land/business purchase. There she finds deep feelings of distrust toward outsiders and an old, shared secret.
This time Maisie doesn't personally face danger, but she does find a complicated mystery to unravel. At the same time there are big changes in her personal life. It is a busy time for her. As always in this series, the specter of WW1 continues to cast its dark shadow.
