Birds of a Feather (Maisie Dobbs #2)
by Jacqueline Winspear
It is the spring of 1930, and Maisie has been hired to find a runaway heiress. When three of the heiress's old friends are found dead, Maisie must race to find out who would want to kill these seemingly respectable young women before it's too late. As Maisie investigates, she discovers that the answers lie in the unforgettable agony of the Great War.
Very good second entry in the Maisie Dobbs series. This one takes place in 1930, over 12 years since the end of The Great War but the war is still a constant reminder to many who lost loved ones because of it. Maisie is hired by a rich market owner to find his missing daughter. He is sure that the young woman, Charlotte, has left his house on her own because this had happened before. But as Maisie delves into the disappearance she finds that three of Charlotte's old friends, that she knew back during the Great War, have been murdered. Are the murders related to Charlotte's disappearance and could Charlotte be next on the murderer's list? And why would anyone want to kill these young women? Maisie, along with her assistant, Billy Beale, sort through the morass of false leads and of course are able to get to the who's and why's of the mystery of Charlotte's disappearance as well as the murders of her friends.
I read and enjoyed the first book in this series a few months ago and I thought this second book further developed Maisie's character and I will be looking forward to reading more of Maisie.
