laurieb755 's review for:
A Dangerous Place
by Jacqueline Winspear
Thanks, Ann, for another good read recommendation! This is my first Maisie Dobbs novel, and I will definitely read more of Jacqueline Winspear's series. Peppered with historical references and rich descriptions of place, the book played out like a movie in my mind.
With that said, I was a bit taken aback to come across a few proofreading glitches, for instance the appearance of the same word twice in a row. Not having read other Maisie Dobbs' adventures, I do not know if this is typical or atypical. However, it jolts my reading and interrupts the flow of my "cognitive camera".
This tale takes place mostly on the island of Gibraltar, in the period leading up to World War II during the Spanish Civil War. It is a reminder that countries and people choose their paths based as much on expediency and need, as on ideology and what they perceive as 'fair and right'.
