Maisie Dobbs is the first book in a series about a WWI nurse who opens
her own detective agency. Through alternating chapters we learn about
her early years working as a servant, and then attending college and
serving as a nurse in France during WWI. In the meantime, she begins to
investigate the mystery of how some badly disfigured veterans ended up
dying all the same way. Jacqueline Winspear is an excellent writer, and
brings the 1920s to life in this debut.Jacqueline Winspear. Maisie Dobbs. New York: Penguin Books, 2003. 292 pages. ISBN 0142004332.
