When his eighteen-year-old daughter runs away from home, he is determined to keep the case away from the police and the newspapers. So he turns to a woman renowned for her discretion and investigative powers the extraordinary Maisie Dobbs.Immediately sensing the tensions pervading the Waite household, Maisie soon discovers that there are many reasons why Charlotte might have left home. Instinctively Maisie feels that Charlotte is safe. Yet, suddenly, she finds herself confronting a murder scene ...With wonderful characters and a page-turning plot, Birds of a Feather is a brilliant mystery. Fans of Maisie Dobbs will be delighted to see Maisie's stunning perception and sleuthing abilities back in action, while the emotional heart of her second mystery will appeal to yet more fans.
Review
In this story Maisey is set to investigate a disappearing daughter. Daughters did not just disappear in the 1930s so what is the story and what is she going to find out?
Jacqueline is an amazing writer, how does she think up these brilliant stories and put them into this format of a early 20th century woman investigator.
Well all I can say is that Jacqueline knows her art and really has researched her subject well. Love her writing and the way it reads, free flowing and brilliant.
Again brilliantly read by Emilia fox.
