Maisie Dobbs got her start as a maid in an aristocratic London household when she was thirteen. Her employer, suffragette Lady Rowan Compton, soon became her patron, taking the remarkably bright youngster under her wing. Lady Rowan’s friend, Maurice Blanche, often retained as an investigator by the European elite, recognized Maisie’s intuitive gifts. The outbreak of war changed everything. Ten years after the Armistice, in the spring of 1929, Maisie sets out on her own as a private investigator, one who has learned that coincidences are meaningful, and truth elusive.

I Just Don’t Understand All the 5 Star Reviews
I chose this book based on the numerous 5 Star reviews. I love mystery novels but this one fell so flat & boring for me that I threw in the towel during the fourth chapter. I just couldn’t imagine wasting 9 more hours on this. The narrator made every boring line sound so urgent.
I listen to an average of three books a week. I’m certain I’ll find a much better book to spend the hours with. This book was free from the Plus Catalog & still wasn’t worth it!

Duncan and Gemma and a host of interesting characters make this a good read. All the different story lines were confusing at first until they finally were connected. Can't help but feel sorry for Kit who gets a raw deal every time but it has to be difficult juggling a job as demanding as theirs as well as raising a family....a struggle all working parents face.

Good story terrible character flaws
Kincaid and James should not be raising children. Is Inspecter Kincaid the only policeman in England? Missing the hearing....really. Plus, missing persons beware in England, the police sound inept. Murders take precedence in these stories over saving people. I could give Kincaid some clues on what to do. A frustrating read.

Confusing
For me, there were too many characters that the book jumped between and l found that rather confusing. The story was interesting though, but the Americanisms were annoying - normalcy instead of normality and fit instead of fitted etc. I thought the narrator was good.

A book with split personality - or poor editing
The story was interesting with threads that were well-intertwined. The grating things were, as far too frequently, the Americanisation of English settings. This meant we were ‘treated’ to words like ‘normalcy’, fire house, night stand and play yard. (What British school EVER had a play yard?) The ironic thing about that though, was that the erasing of British English slipped during the book back into fire station and normality - in both senses.
The narrator was mostly good - except for some inflections that sounded almost Australian at times, and that messed with my concentration from time to time. Overall, the book was reasonably worth the time to listen to.

Interesting story
An interesting story, but I’m sorry, I couldn’t get on with the narrator.
To me, his voice seemed at times almost computer generated.
Listened to the end regardless as I got more used to it.
Included in plus catalogue, so I lost nothing by listening.

Interesting story well narrated
A few small discrepancies caused a bit of confusion but it didn’t spoil the story. It was an interesting story from an interesting view point and I loved the historical angle. Add a bit of nostalgia as the London described is very much diminished now and replaced by modern buildings during the boom times. Hopeful what’s left can be preserved and brought back to life for future generations to enjoy. I’m curious about more books now from the author but only very few are available in the UK audio and with different narrators. I’m not yet convinced as I enjoyed the male narrator far more than the various female ones. They are not bad though so should not deter the listener to go on with the series as the stories in the newer instalments are quite interesting so better not missing out on the enjoyment.
