Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear

2.0

Boring! Maisie is a boring character. Her poverty and death of her mother are supposed to make the reader feel bad for her, and it works...for about a minute. The rest of her life goes about as well as it could (considering where she started). She gets a good job. Her employers learn she's smart and have a tutor for her. She goes to college. It was just boring. And the mystery itself was not well fleshed out. In fact, I barely remember it now (nearly 3 months later). Something about a guy stealing injured veteran's money. The writing was juvenile and I was not invested in the characters. Won't be reading the rest of the series and definitely think this is one you can skip.
