Private investigator Maisie Dobbs receives her first assignment from the British Secret Service in A Lesson in Secrets, the eighth book in Jacqueline Winspear’s award-winning mystery series. Sent to pose as a junior lecturer at a private college in Cambridge, she will monitor any activities “not in the interests of His Majesty’s government.” When the college’s pacifist founder is murdered, Maisie … Maisie finds herself in the midst of sinister web of murder, scandal, and conspiracy, activities that point towards members of the ascendant Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei—the Nazi Party—on Britain’s shores. An instant classic, and sure to captivate long-time Maisie Dobbs fans as well as readers of Agatha Christie, Elizabeth George, and Alexander McCall Smith, A Lesson in Secrets is “a powerful and complex novel, one that will linger in memory as a testament to her talent and her humanity” (Richmond Times-Dispatch).

I enjoyed reading a mystery set between WWI & WWII, Maisie is a character who is believable. I now wish I had read the earlier books too.
I have read all of this series..Enjoyed!!
This is a wonderful series. Well thought out and written. Interesting characters. If you like mystery, a touch of romance, characters whose lives are realistic, and story lines that keep you wondering till the very end, you’ll enjoy the Maidie Dobbs series.
love all the Daisie Dobbs books. Very interesting!
British sleuth who wi witty and smart.

I have read all the Masie Dobbs books and I love her and how they progress through history.
Maise Dobbs is one of THE BEST characters with whom I have become acquainted. I have learned a lot about English history during the war. Once you begin one of these novels, you do not want to stop reading.
The Maisie Dobbs’ mysteries give a very realistic view of the world between the World Wars. They may be moving into WWII. I haven’t read that far. Maisie is a very believable, likable character.
I’ve read all of the Maisie Dobbs books and they are wonderful!!!!
Jacqueline Winspear never disappoints.
