Well I didn’t want to write the series off all together so back then I bought the second book in the series and then just kept it in my TBR queue for a rainy day.Ī 18 hour plane ride seemed like as good as any time to read the next book so I decided to pick it up. I was a little underwhelmed with the first book, it was ok but Maisie wasn’t the same as some of my other favorite female detectives.

Birds of a Feather, its follow-up, finds psychologist and private investigator Maisie Dobbs on another dangerously intriguing adventure in London “between the wars.” It is the spring of 1930, and Maisie has been hired to find a runaway heiress.
