I am surprised how much I enjoyed this book. It was a little Agatha Christie/Sherlock Holmes -y.
It is a bit of a slow burn story that takes place after WW1 in London. Maisie Dobbs is a psychologist and investigator. She is working in fields where there are few women.
Truth be told, I didn’t know that Among the Mad was actually the sixth book in the Maisie Dobbs series. However I was still able to follow along.
