Maisie Dobbs Readalikes
Jacqueline Winspear’s British historical mysteries feature the plucky Maisie Dobbs, an intelligent, self-made heroine who went from being a domestic servant to a nurse in WWI to running her own business as an inquiry agent. Setting, time period, and atmosphere are key to these well-plotted, character-driven cozies, which are mostly upbeat but with dark undertones due to the lingering effects of the war. If you like Maisie Dobbs, you might enjoy these other series, all of which are located in the Adult Mystery section of the Library.
