A Lesson in Secrets by Jacqueline Winspear
4.0
Another great Maisie Dobbs mystery. Maisie is a private detective; this book takes place in 1932. She takes a temporary leave of her PI business to take up a position as a professor at a private college in Cambridge. She is working for the secret service to identify anyone acting out of the interest of the crown. However, things take a turn when the head of the college is found murdered. Maisie takes it upon herself to figure out exactly what happened.
My only complaint about this book was that the "regulars" were missing. Her faithful sidekick, Billy, does not have a prominent role in this book, as he stays behind in London to keep their business running. We don't see much of Maisie's father either.
