Another excellent entry in the Massie Dobbs series. Jacqueline Winspear gets better and better as the series progresses, with a strong and believable central character and a realistic milieu.

I really liked this book. I can feel the tension building even after the book is finished WWII is coming. I am interested to see how the future develops for Miss Maisie Dobbs.

I am a long-time Maisie Dobbs fan, but sadly, this latest novel in the series was rather disappointing. It never really hooked me. Hopefully this is just an unfortunate derivation that will be corrected with Winspear's next publication.
