RATING: 3.5 STARS Yay, Indian characters in a book taking place in Britain. Not so yay, that it is set in the 1930s and Indian people are characterized as "those people". As always, class distinction is discussed, but this time racism…

The story itself is very good, but Maisie's endless introspective musings are beginning to feel to me like filler. I've also started to think that the reason Maisie can never quite sort out what she wants and feels is that she's actually…

Maisie Dobbs is the woman I hope Nancy Drew grew up to be. There are similarities. Nancy had her little red roadster as her boyfriend. Maisy has her little MG and a fiancé. Both were independent women in the 1930’s. As usual, Winspear…

Very disappointing finish to a wonderful series. Fully a third of the book is a recap of the other books in the series. I love Maisie, but 40-year-old women should not still be whining about not knowing themselves--especially when the…

It's a great series. I started reading this series this past winter. I suggest you start with the first. Each book picks up where the last ended. It starts with world war 1 and move to late 1930's. Enjoy !

I've loved all these books and yes, they should be read from the beginning. According to the author, the next installment in the Maisie Dobbs series won't be out until 2015. That's a long wait.

I have read all the books in the Maisie Dobbs series. They do not disappoint. They are well written and I like the era in which they take place. I like that the author allows the characters to change. I look forward to where the author…
