trade-size paperback.

from the back cover:
. . . 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 test 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.

The box arrived late yesterday. Thank you for sending me these books that are like new. I appreciate you thinking of me.

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first two in the series. This book weaves three cases taking place in the late 1930. Maise is a London "psychologist and investigator." She goes about proving the innocence of a 13-year-old farm girl, Avril Jarvis, accused of murder; undertaking a search for Sir Cecil Lawton's only son, a pilot shot down behind enemy lines in WWI, whose body was never recovered; and looking into the death of her university friend Priscilla Evernden Partridge's brother in France during the war. Maisie returns to the region where she served as a nurse; thus, causing her to face her memories of that time.

Enjoy! KTM RABCK to barbieq233
