Maisie Dobbs is one of my favorite fictional characters. She's bright, independent and works hard at whatever she does. This story has four investigations for the brilliant Miss Dobbs. She is asked to find a man's son who vanished during the war, discover where her best friend's brother died, help a girl who is accused of murder and find out who is trying to kill Maisie herself. I admire the author for weaving four wonderful threads into a novel. So skillfully done, it's not surprising that Maisie becomes ill. She is stretched so thin. I couldn't help wondering if the author, too, found herself stretched as far!

Maisie discovers some interesting facts about the two missing soldiers which the reader will have to discover for himself. In addition, she helps the young girl who can't remember what happened when her "uncle" was murdered. She survives numerous attempts on her life as she tries to unravel who and why she has been targeted. This is one of the best books in this series. I loved it.
