Reviews

"There's something exceptionally comforting about becoming enthralled with a new heroine, to whom a reader can return in an ongoing series. But she must be complex. . . . Depth is mandatory. I've found this in Maisie Dobbs. . . . For as long as each novel lasts, we live in Maisie's suspenseful, intelligent world." - Evelyn Theiss, Cleveland Plain Dealer"The combination of period detail and intricate storytelling makes A Lesson in Secrets seem distant enough to be romantic but sufficiently modern to engage our sympathies." - Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal"With an affecting storyline and graceful prose, Winspear has again created a powerful and complex novel, one that will linger in memory as a testament to her talent and her humanity." - Richmond Times-Dispatch"[A] splendid series." - Wichita Eagle"Maisie is one of the great fictional heroines, equal parts haunted and haunting." - Parade
