Once again, the lasting effects of World War I play a huge part in the storyline, and for me that is one of the biggest pluses to reading this series. Maisie needs to find Charlotte and her friends and work out what it is exactly that makes four respectable young women the targets for a killer. The only down side seems to be that she has recently broken off her engagement although it soon becomes clear that she lives in a very controlled environment - everything being controlled by her father.Īppearances can be deceptive though, especially when a friend of hers is murdered and by tying the clues together it becomes clear that there is something far more sinister going on. This isn't the first time that Miss Charlotte Waite has disappeared which is in itself quite perplexing, because she is a young lady who seems to have a very comfortable life - she is wealthy and pampered and has the best of everything. Find his missing daughter without involving the police and the media, and do it quickly and Mr Waite would reward her sweetly. When Maisie is called in by one of the richest men in Britain, it seems a relatively simple task. It took me only five months which is a much better effort! Having put off reading the first Maisie Dobbs books for years, I was determined to not do the same thing with the second book.
