The start of the Maisie Dobbs series of books, there are at least 18 more. I will continue to read this series set in London about a maid turned private investigator in the "tween times" of the Two Great Wars. It is a promising start and just saying when growing up "poor in London" it definitely pays to have a patron.

I have enjoyed this series of books and will continue to read this author as she started a new series in 2020.
I don't want to give too many spoilers and I did like how this book gave nice closure to a lot of the recurring characters in this series finale.
That being said I really didn't understand the reasoning behind the need for all the kidnappings, even after the author took the time to explain it several times. I guess I am going to leave it with this: sometimes there is just no way a "sane" person can truly understand a sick and twisted mind.
A book that has some very mixed reviews on Good Reads. The writing is very circular and there are many characters spread across multiple time lines. If you read closely it is a very rewarding read as she always circles back in the narrative to provide answers be it-- past, present, or future.. I would have liked it if she had written more about Paul but he was only given space at the beginning and the end, he gets lost in the middle. But writing it as she did, the endings make sense of the beginnings. I plan on reading The Lola Quartet next.
