Young, feisty Maisie Dobbs has recently set herself up as a private detective. Such a move may not seem especially startling. But this is 1929, and Maisie is exceptional in many ways.

(Seelig)

Jacqueline Winspear was born and raised in England, and now lives California. She frequently returns to the UK to research the latest Maisie Dobbs mystery, and visit family and friends

Sue Baker's 'Quarterly Highlights' -- Publishing News 20040806 'Feisty, working-class heroine Maisie is a deliberate throwback to the sleuthettes of old-fashioned crime writing and will appeal to all those fans who pine for uncomplicated characters and a strong demarcation between good and bad. The well-plotted story, its characters and the picture of London between the wars are decidedly romantic. American readers loved it; many Brits will, too.' -- The Guardian 20040918 'Maisie Dobbs is a welcome and unusual addition to the crowded world of literary detectives ... A very readable whodunnit' -- Sainsbury's Magazine 20040801 'Much more than just another detective story! thought-provoking' -- Newbooksmag 20041101 'In Maisie Dobbs, Jacqueline Winspear has given us a real gift. Maisie Dobbs has not been created - she has been discovered. Such people are always there amongst us, waiting for somebody like Ms. Winspear to come along and reveal them. And what a revelation it is!' -- Alexander McCall Smith 20060515 'It's a long time since I've read a crime novel that begins as well as Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs ... well written ... [Jacqueline Winspear] is set fair for a very bright future as a crime novelist.' -- Simon Brett, Daily Mail 20040806 'Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs is a welcome addition to the sleuthing scene. Simultaneously self-reliant and vulnerable, Maisie isn't a character I'll easily forget' -- Elizabeth George 20040806 'Readers sensing a story-within-a-story won't be disappointed. But first, they must prepare to be astonished at the sensitivity and wisdom with which Maisie resolves her first professional assignment' -- New York Times 20040806 'A wry and immensely readable beginning to what promises to be a vivid new addition to crime fiction' -- Mail on Sunday 20040806 'Even if detective stories aren't your thing, you'll love Maisie Dobbs' -- New Woman 20040801 'The book is much more than a cosy mystery - it is also about women's growing emancipation and the profound changes to society after the First World War.' -- Mail on Sunday's You 20050403
