Welcome to Litsy!

Continuing my adventures in Jacqueline Winspear‘s Maisie Dobbs series, I‘m finding each book even better than the one before. A young Indian woman is killed near the docks, though much loved by all. As Maisie searches the truth, she discovers dabbling in another culture stirs up her travel bug.

I really liked this installment of the Maisie Dobbs series, which sees big changes in Maisie‘s life. There‘s an interesting mystery about the murders of two Indian women, but the focus here is on Maisie‘s personal life. I am interested to see what‘s up next for her.

This installment in the Maisie Dobbs series is so interesting! It addresses the Indian immigrant experience in London and British colonialism in India. Mahatma Gandhi gets a mention too! Hitler‘s actions in Germany are raising red flags among Britain‘s leading minds. Some big changes happen in Maisie‘s life as the book draws to a close. #audiobook

Oh Maisie how I‘ve missed you and now I‘ll worry about you until the next book. Maisie must solve the murder of a beautiful Indian woman and her friend. There are a lot of suspects and Maisie chips away at this who dunnit in typical Dobbs style. I can‘t say much about the end without spoiling it but this is a pivotal book in the series and my anxiety is high starting the next. 😟

Another wonderful book in the Maisie Dobbs Series, quite an intricate plot that took some working out for Maisie, but nobody evades detection with her. Good book looking at Maisie‘s personal life. Quite sad as this felt like the ending of an era for Maisie and her cronies. I would suggest it was the last book in the series but know more have been written since. Will be interesting to see how Maisie‘s story will be taken forward.

Started book 10 of the Maisie Dobbs Series as my commute book this week. Love Maisie Dobbs Series, and as usual so much going on for Maisie personally and professionally. Part way in this one and already can see and feel the inherent institutional racism of the time! This particular book is set in 1933, at the time of Hitler‘s rise to power in Germany. Also as always great cover art!

An interesting look at prejudice in the '30's and how unfortunately not enough has changed. Maisie continues to be one of my favorite characters.

If I didn‘t know better I would almost think this book was a close to the series! Just how nicely things come together and then when Maisie reminisces about all of her past cases. Absolutely love this series! So happy it doesn‘t end here! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

8 hours in the car with Maisie Dobbs makes the drive go much faster. Still had an hour left to go when I got home so crocheted a bit. I love the warmth and depth of Maisie Dobbs. I always learn something when I listen to these wonderful books.

Ah, my old stand by, Massie Dobbs! Here is what I love about this series more than most others- Jacqueline Winspear has allowed Massie to grow and mature through the series so while it is about solving mysteries, it is also about a very smart, class conscious and independent woman struggling to be true to herself pre-WW2 in London. It's a smart series and always very fulfilling.
