A Lesson in Secrets by Jacqueline Winspear
4.0

I so love Maisie Dobbs, and this mystery certainly holds up to the rest of the series. Now that we're getting into the thirties, I have a better idea of the history and what is happening politically, so the hair went up on the back of my neck when I realized that certain of the young children would definitely be old enough to fight in WWII. Entering the realm of the secret service certainly fits with who Maisie is, and I loved that she wouldn't just be a pawn in the game.
