Another good book in the Maisie Dobbs series.
In this one, Maisie has put her old team together and reestablished herself as a PI in London. One of her former colleagues, Francesca Thomas, hires Maisie to investigate the death of a Belgian refugee who came to Britain as a teenager during World War I. As Maisie investigates, she finds that more Belgian's who settled in England at that time are being murdered. She appears to be on the trail of a serial killer. She knows that Francesca is involved in intelligence work and begins to suspect that she hasn't been given the full story. Complications and danger issue.
Additionally, the start of WW2 gives Maisie more personal complications and problems involving her staff, family, and friends. She has a lot of balls to juggle.
Good, solid story in the series. The narration by Orlagh Cassidy is quite good.
4+ stars.
