Among the Mad by Jacqueline Winspear
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I think this was my favorite Maisie Dobbs so far. She is working with Scotland Yard, in a consultant capacity, which opens up possibilities of the plot in a way that the earlier novels lacked. There was a definite thread of sadness in this story, but the kindness and grace of Miss Dobbs keeps the heartbreak at a manageable level.

I am counting this towards the Historical Fiction Challenge as it was written in 2009 and is set at the turn of the year 1932.
I read the first few books in this series and then lost track of it!!
