Recensione:

“Delves deeply into [Maisy’s] complicated relationships and hints at a compelling future.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“The cross-cultural theme adds another dimension to Winspear’s London of 1933....This tenth Maisie Dobbs mystery continues the series’ high quality, capturing a time and place and featuring a protagonist as compassionate as she is intuitive. A fine historical mystery with broad appeal.” (Booklist)

“Parting is such sweet sorrow....Winspear adroitly weaves a mystery involving tensions with race, class, and even love....Highly recommended for fans of strong women detectives.” (Susan Moritz, Library Journal)

“To remain connected to life’s possibilities, one’s mind must be open to change....It’s a concept that Winspear explores with grace and generosity in Leaving Everything Most Loved.” (Jay Strafford, Richmond Times-Dispatch)

“Psychology and private investigation: an unlikely combination of professions, especially for a woman in the 1930s. And yet Maisie Dobbs does both, brilliantly.” (Adam Woog, Seattle Times Book Review)
