bookhero6 's review for:
A Lesson in Secrets
by Jacqueline Winspear
If you like historical fiction, historical mysteries, the period between the wars, England, you know, the usual and you haven’t read this series yet, go back and pick up the first book, Maisie Dobbs, and then read through the rest of the series. I’ve only read the first 8, but I feel pretty confident that the farther this series moves into the 1930’s the better it gets. If you already like Maisie Dobbs and/or Jacqueline Winspear then you already know it’s going to be good.
By the 8th installment, Europe is moving ever closer to war. I think we’re in 1932 now. Tensions are rising and arguments for fascism are being made even in England. The horrors of the Holocaust have not yet begun but the rhetoric is there and its waves are making their way to England. Maisie is sent to investigate the political leanings at a university in Cambridge headed by a controversial “pacifist.” When he winds up dead, things get even more complicated.
