But Maisie is determined to hunt down the truth, however painful it might be...

I think that this book was less about the mystery (which was solved quite quickly) and more about building a solid and interesting foundation for a new series. I really liked the characters and enjoyed this book a lot so I’m looking forward to reading the next one in the series to find out what happened next.

Thanks for the wishlist tag book and the postcard of a view I know very well. I used to walk from Green Park tube to St James’s Park station where I worked and cross the bridge with this view.
