Maisie Dobbs

I liked this book! I wish I could give half stars because for me it's really more of a 3.5. While I understand why the author gave us the flashbacks to provide background on Maisie, particularly since this is the first book in the series, I felt like it broke up the mystery story and detracted from it. I'm looking forward to reading another in the series to see how the mystery plays out without the interruption of the flashback.
