Amazon Book Description
In the third novel of this unique and masterly crime series, a deathbed plea from his wife leads Sir Cecil Lawton, KC, to seek the aid of Maisie Dobbs, psychologist and investigator. As Maisie soon learns, Agnes Lawton never accepted that her aviator son was killed in the Great War, a torment that led her not only to the edge of madness but also to the doors of those who practice the dark arts and commune with the spirit world. Determined to prove Ralph Lawton either dead or alive, Maisie is plunged into a case that tests her spiritual strength, as well as her regard for her mentor, Maurice Blanche. The mission will bring her to France and reunite her with her old friend Priscilla Evernden, who lost three brothers in the war, one of whom has an intriguing connection to the case.

This was a really slow read for me. Not to say that I didn’t enjoy it (I enjoyed it a lot!) I just started reading it when the relaxed summer timetable changed to the hectic autumn timetable and I didn’t seem to have the strength to keep the book open before falling asleep. The story itself was really good, just like in the previous books. Though I think this one was a bit darker in tone and more sinister than the first two in the series.
