Review
Maisie Dobbs is a cute cozy mystery. However, I found the mystery part got lost in the stream of Maisie's history. It felt like the author had forgotten what genre she was writing and merely popped back in last minute. On a positive note, I found Maisie and her assistant Billy to be engaging characters and read onward to learn more about them.
As I look back through my "Goodreads Progress" I realize that while I enjoyed the book overall I found the ending to have an M. Night Shyamalan twist to it (I see dead people anyone)? I'm not sure that really helped the development of the plot but the author did tie all loose ends together and left Maisie and Billy open for character growth.
Overall, Maisie Dobbs is an enjoyable mystery for a rainy day but I'm not sure I will be continuing her journey of becoming a private investigator.
