New Woman
'Even if detective stories aren't your thing, you'll love Maisie Dobbs'
Review
Sue Baker's 'Quarterly Highlights' (Publishing News 20040801)
'Feisty, working-class heroine Maisie is a deliberate throwback to the sleuthettes of old-fashioned crime writing and will appeal to all those fans who pine for uncomplicated characters and a strong demarcation between good and bad. The well-plotted story, its characters and the picture of London between the wars are decidedly romantic. American readers loved it; many Brits will, too.' (The Guardian 20050403)
'Maisie Dobbs is a welcome and unusual addition to the crowded world of literary detectives ... A very readable whodunnit' (Sainsbury's Magazine )
Much more than just another detective story thought-provoking' (Newbooksmag )
'It's a long time since I've read a crime novel that begins as well as Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs ... well written ... [Jacqueline Winspear] is set fair for a very bright future as a crime novelist.' (Simon Brett, Daily Mail )
'Jacqueline Winspears Maisie Dobbs is a welcome addition to the sleuthing scene. Simultaneously self-reliant and vulnerable, Maisie isnt a character Ill easily forget' (Elizabeth George )
'Readers sensing a story-within-a-story won't be disappointed. But first, they must prepare to be astonished at the sensitivity and wisdom with which Maisie resolves her first professional assignment' (New York Times )
'A wry and immensely readable beginning to what promises to be a vivid new addition to crime fiction' (Mail on Sunday )
'Even if detective stories aren't your thing, you'll love Maisie Dobbs' (New Woman )
'The book is much more than a cosy mystery - it is also about women's growing emancipation and the profound changes to society after the First World War.' (Mail on Sunday's You )

In Maisie Dobbs, Jacqueline Winspear has given us a real gift. Maisie Dobbs has not been created - she has been discovered. Such people are always there amongst us, waiting for somebody like Ms. Winspear to come along and reveal them. And what a revelation it is!
