suzze 's review for:

A Lesson in Secrets by Jacqueline Winspear

4.0

---

In this 8th installment of the Maisie Dobbs mytery series, she goes undercover for the Special Branch as a junior lecturer at a small Cambridge college in order to monitor any anti-government things that might be going on there. Soon after her arrival, the college's founder, a noted pacifist and children's book author is murdered. As she tries to solve the murder, she sees what is going on with some British citizens in support of the new German Nazi party. This was extremely enjoyable, and it was interesting to see what types of things were going on as Hitler was just beginning to roll in Germany. I'd highly recommend "A Lesson in Secrets" even if you have not yet read any of the other Maisie Dobbs books (the first is titled Maisie Dobbs)as this one can definitely stand on its own.
