Maisie Dobbs was recommended to me. I started with Book 1 and fell in love with the spirit and drive of the main character, Maisie. A product if time and history. Caught between two worlds, she takes advantage of opportunities that create a future for herself in a changing world. From early WW1 through the Depression years we follow Maisie through her efforts to right injustice as a psychologist and  investigator.Savor each book. There are 17 and I look forward to reading all of them.

I love listening to these books. The stories and characters are engaging. I also learn a bit more about WWI. I usually read about WWII. So this earlier time period is a nice change.

Jacqueline Winspear's "Messenger of Truth" is not only a fine murder mystery, it's a superb work of literature.  Just as with her other mysteries, this one has a wonderful sense of ambiance and character and well worth a read even if you're not interested in the genre.The period is the two decades between the two World Wars.  The manic post-war phase of exuberant optimism is long over.  Instead of a new world order, the poorer people find that a new group of exploiters has taken over the reins of power and their own lot has not changed; if anything it's worsened because of the economic conditions effecting the world.  Maisie Dobb's assistant and his family have taken in relatives who no longer have any means of support because the post war depression has devastated the economy.  The combined family lives in almost Dickensian poverty, trying to make do for eight people on Billy's small income.  Meanwhile, the wealthy buy up art at incredible prices and spend vast amounts on idle pursuits just as they did in Dickens' own time.  The author's rich imagery creates a sense of "being there" that is so often missing in other period set mysteries, despite the occasional material reminder of the setting.  Ms Winspear carries the reader along with carefully chosen emotional word pictures that make the period come alive.  While she manipulates the reader's feelings, she does not bludgeon one senseless with overly graphic depictions of events.  Like a Spielberg film, the emotive power of her words is produced as much by what is not said as by what is.The author's characters are very real.  Their pain over some of their experiences and their efforts to recover are like ones neighbors.  There is always a sense that every person one meets throughout the book's pages has a past as well as a present and by implication a future.  They have plans and hopes as well as present activities that engage the reader.  Every one of them is therefore three dimensional and a developing "work in progress," just as we all are.  It is primarily for this reason that I come back again and again to the author's series; I feel like the characters should be a permanent part of my life, and I like to know how they are doing.The mystery is well staged.  It is also fairly staged; there are no plot manipulations at the end to bring a denouement to a story that simply arrived at a convenient number of pages.  Like her other works in this genre, the author is as sensitive of the murderer as of the victim.  She notes that murder is an extreme behavior, an emotional one, and one that arises for powerful reasons.  The act is not without an effect on its perpetrator, and the author takes this into consideration in her creations as much as Simenon did in many of his Inspector Maigret and other mysteries, 
  
Maigret and the Man on the Boulevard (Inspector Maigret Mysteries)







  
  
     and 
  
The Bar on the Seine (Penguin Mysteries)







  
  
    .  More than anything, the reader comes to the end of the book with a feeling of satisfaction.  Anyone who has read a number of murder mysteries knows that feeling of, "It works" or "Not in a million years!"  There are no holes, no unanswered questions, no sense that the book lacked a proper beginning, middle and end.  It's a carefully tailored work of art, and you come to the final pages fully aware of that.A wonderful work of fiction; I wish I could write like this!
