Set a few years after the Great War has ended, Maisie is just setting up her investigation business and getting a few clients as a sole businesswoman. This book has a big old flashback to Maisie's later childhood and teen years, and her experience in the war. A sober book, with very precise dialogue and characterization. Also nice attention to detail both in setting and action - for instance Maisie sometimes physically imitates the posture of someone else and then has a flash of intuition about what their state of mind is. A unique, great mystery.
