Recensione:

“Compelling.” (People (3 ½ out of 4 stars))

“In Maisie Dobbs, Jacqueline Winspear has given us a real gift. Maisie Dobbs has not been created—she has been discovered. Such people are always there amongst us, waiting for somebody like Ms. Winspear to come along and reveal them. And what a revelation it is!” (Alexander McCall Smith)

“An engaging plot coupled with captivating character makes this the best Dobbs novel to date.” (Library Journal)

“Endearing. . . . As often in this winning series, the action builds to a somewhat sad if satisfying conclusion.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

“When people ask me to recommend an author, one name consistently comes to mind: Jacqueline Winspear.” (Deirdre Donahue, USA Today)

“A sleuth to treasure.” (Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review)

“A detective series to savor.” (Johanna McGeary, Time)

“[Catches] the sorrow of a lost generation in the character of one exceptional woman.” (Dick Adler, Chicago Tribune)

“What charms most is Dobbs herself: a woman ‘not as adept in her personal life as she was in her professional domain,’ and all the more engaging for that.” (Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal)
