It's been a few years since I was introduced to the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear, but it's mostly been a good relationship. After the first 4 or 5, I thought she was getting stagnant and the stories were not very compelling anymore. And actually she wrote a non-Maisie novel that I enjoyed, but not everyone liked it.
But her newest is a nice change of pace - and she seems to have her story-telling back in stride!
A Dangerous Place occurs in Gibraltor in 1934 - the Spanish Civil War. There's a backstory that comes about with some letters and newspaper accounts, and then the story really gets going.
It was vintage Jacqueline Winspear - and I am delighted to see it.
Hopefully the trend will continue!!
Now on to number 18 in my "Read 52 Books This Year" campaign!!
