Well, this is the last Maisie Dobbs novel I checked out from the library, so there will be a break from the Maisie Dobbs recounts for a while. But this was another book I thoroughly enjoyed. There were several things at the end of the mystery that it wasn't clear how Maisie discovered them, but I feel like that's how ALL mysteries have to be--the detective is always somewhat all-knowing and figures out things without really having the evidence to prove it (to the rest of us).
I really like how Maisie's personal life is intertwined with the mysteries, by the way. Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot are completely professional beings, with no personal life whatsoever that we know of. In this book, Maisie finally gets into a relationship (!) that she seems excited about (and one that I definitely could get into) and her mentor dies after a long illness, and it's great to read about her dealing with those things along with the mysteries themselves.
