This is the first of a series of books written by Jacqueline Winspear. And in time I might get hold of some of the others.
Masie Dobbs is a private investigator, just starting up in her own business.
London, 1929. Having set herself up as a private investigator, Masie Dobbs is relieved when her first client arrives. Christopher Davenham suspects that his wife is conducting an affair. But Masie's investigations confound her expectations at every turn. And she is forced by her findings to revisit her own turbulent experience of the Great War. For Masie, the boundary between her private and professional life is suddenly blurred.
This is a world still reeling in the aftermath of war, a world in which many secrets lie buried. But Masie is determined to hunt down the truth, however painful it might be....
This book, like the Kellerman was a refreshing change in the "investigation" genre of novels.
