A cute and fairly strong historical mystery! My first in this series! I enjoyed it for showing up at book 7 instead of book 1, lol.

As always, liked this one -- Maisie is asked to track down a young woman who wrote letters to an American cartographer who was killed in the war, but whose remains were only recently found and identified. Turns out, he was also murdered in his trench -- before the bomb came that killed his trench mates. So Maisie is also tracking down a murderer, and finding resolution will also settle the young American's estate. When her clients are brutally attacked in their hotel room, she knows that there is someone who doesn't want old secrets uncovered ...

Meanwhile, in her personal world, her mentor is dying, and there is no medical miracle to save him.

The map-making becomes a deep metaphor for the tightrope Maisie is walking in her assignment for her injured clients, but also how she navigates her own life, between death and finding love again.

The characters and setting drew me in, even if the mystery isn't the strongest. One of the few authors I buy in hardcover.
