I disliked many things about this story. I really only kept going because it's part of a series and I wanted to follow the progress of the characters, but let's just say during the first half of the story I found myself sighing a lot. Jacqueline Winspear can be tiresome, as can the character of Maisie herself. This is the first book where I can honestly say I was shocked several times by Maisie's lack of sensitivity. The story picked up for me in the second half, where the plot began to develop some interesting twists. (If only a reviewer on goodreads hadn't revealed the "whodunnit"! I don't think I would have guessed otherwise.) I am giving this story a low rating for many reasons, but I will keep reading the series.
