Jacqueline Winspear has written 8 novels in the series featuring Masie Dobbs. Her latest, A Lesson in Secrets, is a fine addition. As fans know, we first meet Masie as a young sevant girl in pre-WWI England. By the 8th novel in the series she is a respected private investigator and a woman of property. This series really is best read in order as we see Masie develop in confidence,experience and age. The 8th novel explores the mood of pre-WWII England,as some people are for the Facist government in Germany and others, as we know now rightly so, are worried about the fate of Europe. Of course there is also a murder mystery that Masie cleverly solves. Winspear doesn't disappoint, her writing as always is nuanced and historically correct. ML
