A review by jennchandler
A Dangerous Place by Jacqueline Winspear

2.0

It took me a while to read this book because I simply didn't care. The beauty of the Maisie Dobbs books has always been Maisie herself. However, she stopped progressing as a character several books ago. In this book, she is in exactly the same situation she was in the first books, but she's lost her spunk and vitality. I feel as if Winspeare found success and then tried to repeat it, rather than allowing her characters and writing to change and progress. In short, I won't be reading any future Maisie Dobbs mysteries, though I may reread the first ones, which I love dearly.
