A Lesson in Secrets by Jacqueline Winspear

4.0

Recovering well from the last few, leaving behind the maudlin soap opera plots and subplots. In this one, she is sent by British intelligence to Cambridge to investigate a college for supposed communist sympathies. As happened in real life, the British government wasn't interested in the real threat, Nazism. Surrounding the murder are a number of different folks of interest, as expected.

At the same time, Billy's family moves forward, as does Maisie's own relationship with only a bit too much angst. Above average and a welcome return to almost the level of earlier books.
