Jacqueline Winspear's latest Maisie Dobbs novel, Among the Dead. The series is set in 1920s and 1930s London and while being a bit on the melodramatic side, is very readable and interesting. Ms. Winspear is an ex-pat Brit living in California. She certainly seems to do a huge amount of research for these books. Either that or she's making it all up - not a crime amongst novelists.
Yes indeed. That 'making it all up' thing is a gift to be treasured!
ReplyDeleteHere's another book I have not read. Sounds excellent.
