Kristin M says:
Part cold-case murder mystery, part Downton Abbey-style historical fiction, this series is a winner. Maisie is smart and strong, and so is her story.
Private detective Maisie Dobbs must investigate the reappearance of a dead man who turns up at a cooperative farm called the Retreat that caters to men recovering their health after World War I.
