This is the first in a series of books about Maisie Dobbs, the daughter of a London greengrocer who ends up opening her own detective agency in the 1920's in London after returning home from serving as a nurse in the first world war. Maisie isn't as polished a character as Harriet Vane - probably because Jacqueline Winspear is no Dorothy Sayers! Nevertheless, the book is fun to read if for no other reason than because of the period detail and the historical setting.
