Another heartfelt story

It is a bit of a feel good goodie good book. A bit shallow for me.

It’s just ok

"A Dangerous Place" sees Maisie unravelling a complicated case in Gibraltar. It's a classic Maisie Dobbs mystery, intelligent and riveting, but I did miss the cast of characters usually supporting Maisie, especially Priscilla and Billy. Winspear's writing is, as always, flawless and shows a profound understanding of human nature. Very enjoyable.

Maisie far away from home.

Loved it all. Did not dislike anything. I have said all I can say about the story

The best she is a brilliant story teller

Another excellent tale, with an excellent compelling narrator. This is not a frivolous war time romance with knickers in the wind like so many other writers pen. The writer has used all her tools to empower and embellish this enjoyable epithany.
