A Dangerous
Place
By
Jacqueline Winspear
The
last book in this series left main character Maisie Dobbs at a crossroads, and
left her author with a bit of a dilemma, she wanted to take Maisie in one
direction, but millions of fans were hoping for another. How Jacqueline
Winspear resolves that dilemma, and she does it very well, becomes a major plot
point in this new installment of a well-loved series.
A Dangerous
Place
opens four years after Leaving Everything
Most Loved ended. On her way home to
England, Maisie stops off in Gibraltar and becomes entangled in a murder
case. The police dismiss the stabbing
death of Sebastian Babayoff as the work of a transient, but Maisie isn’t
convinced and begins her own investigation.
Soon she draws the attention of the British Secret Service in a
dangerous place where nothing is what it seems to be and everyone is guarding a
secret, including Maisie herself.
A
well-crafted story complete with many of Winspear’s characteristic psychological
twists and turns. While some Maisie fans will be disappointed, most will
welcome the return of their favorite psychologist and private investigator.
