Maisie Dobbs

You know, this is a solid entry in what appears to be a very successful series. That said: I liked the characters, but the prose annoyed me. It's competently written, but just not for me. I can understand its appeal, though. Winspear is a fine writer, it's just not my bag.

It's one of those sorts of series that I'm not going to read any of sequels, but if/when this gets made into the inevitable BBC mysteries series, I'll watch the hell out of it.
