Maisie Dobbs isn’t just any young housemaid. Through her own natural intelligence—and the patronage of her benevolent employers—she works her way into college at Cambridge. When World War I breaks out, Maisie goes to the front as a nurse. It is there that she learns that coincidences are meaningful and the truth elusive. After the War, Maisie sets up on her own as a private investigator. But her very first assignment, seemingly an ordinary infidelity case, soon reveals a much deeper, darker web of secrets, which will force Maisie to revisit the horrors of the Great War and the love she left behind.

I really loved this. Maisie is fun and smart but has her faults. The side characters are fun. Billy and Rowan and (in flashback) Priscilla. Simon... I'd like to hear more about Maisie at school and in the war and with Simon... I like that it's kind of like the Poirot books and you don't get all the information (which I know people don't always like, which I get). Maisie was going to figure it out and I wasn't. I've read too many lately where I've figured it out before the main character, so that was nice. I really look forward to continuing the series. :)
Maise Dobbs is a character I like. She's smart, but not arrogant. She goes against the flow but doesn't have a chip on her shoulder. She seems a very real abs relatable character to me.
I enjoyed the way the author unfolded this story. It is not a fast paced story, but because I enjoyed the characters, I bought into wanting to know how it turned out. There are some intense sections of the story where things pick up and move, but this really is one that I simply enjoyed the telling of the story.
