A Dangerous Place by Jacqueline Winspear


A Dangerous Place by Jacqueline Winspear

Usually by this time in a series, I am burned out on them but Maisie Dobbs certainly keeps me interested. This one is set in Gilbraltar during the Spanish Civil War.  Maisie is recovering from two devastating tragedies in her life. She instinctively knows that immersing herself in her work will help her pull herself from the abyss of her losses. The characters and the setting in place and time are well delineated and are complex enough to be real. The investigation is a convoluted trail with interesting people. And the end leaves you wondering what Maisie will be into next.
