Book #48: Among the Mad by Jacqueline Winspear

Maisie goes a little more in-depth in this book and gets more into the action. She gets knocked out by a bomb in the first scene of the book (spoiler alert!) and then ends up facing off with the bad guy at the end and beating him up (somewhat). That seemed very Sherlock Holmes of her (I love how Sherlock and Watson are always so fit and able to keep up/chase down their suspects, no matter how difficult it seems it should be) and I liked the change, since she never really has problems with actually being in DANGER while she's on the case. This seemed to make sense though.

And, completely unrelated to the book itself, I like the design of these covers, with the huge sans serif font with the title and author's name. It works very well, in my limited knowledge and opinion of design principles.
