Title: London in 1930
Review: This is an interesting story, but the writing style was not really to my taste. It is about a case involving investigator Maisie Dobbs and her assistant Billy Beale in 1930 London. The case itself involves a 32 year old woman, roughly the same age as Maisie, who has run off. Her domineering father, who wants her at home, hires Maisie to find her. The case would seem to be a simple case of finding a missing person, but murders are involved, and Maisie finds herself drawn back to events in the Great War where she and Billy had both served.The story has a lot of background color (details of the time period) and reveals a lot about both Maisie and Billy. Maisie finds out some things about Billy. Maisie also acquires a new man in her life.
