Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear
1.0
Primary problem: I was bored the entire time.
Secondary problem: weak mystery and bizarre structure
Tertiary problem: one-dimensional characters
I think this might have some appeal to the 10-13 year-old Nancy Drew demographic, but neither the mystery nor the setting provided any sense of accomplishment. It might be a way to start a "PG" conversation about WWI, but I would still look elsewhere. There's nothing "wrong" with it, so much as I just feel like I wasted my time. My search for a compelling female detective goes on.
