I bought this book a few days ago because I am a fan of the author, and because it is her latest publication (2008). The book is not only an engrossing detective mystery, but deals with the social issues arising from the aftermath of the First World War. Set in the thirties it addresses the plight of soldiers integrating back into society, the devastation of families, and the changing role of women. These subjects are dealt with a meticulous eye to historical accuracy, which makes the book not only a good detective mystery, but an informative read as well.
The author, Winspear tells a good story and mixes in mystery within a historical setting; I love this genre.

Usually you ask for reviews before I have time to read the book, but I just finished reading this one. I recommend starting with the first book in the series as I think you would miss knowing who Maisie Dobbs really is if you don't. The book would stand alone, but is better in the series. Ms Winspear has a way of writing that keeps you on the edge of your seat for a good part of the book, but she does allow you to figure out who done it if you think while you read. So, yes, I highly recommend her books.

Another interesting mystery about Maisie Dobbs, a British "Investigator and Psychologist" set in the first half of the 20th Century in England. The entire series of Winspear's Maisie mysteries is excellent.
