BIRDS OF A FEATHER

The second Maisie Dobbs mystery Jacqueline Winspear s marvelous debut, "Maisie Dobbs," won her fans from around the world and raised her intuitive, intelligent, and resourceful heroine to the ranks of literature s favorite sleuths. "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. But what seems a simple case at the outset soon becomes increasingly complicated when three of the heiress s old friends are found dead. Is there a connection between the woman s mysterious disappearance and the murders? Who would want to kill three seemingly respectable young women? As Maisie investigates, she discovers that the answers lie in the unforgettable agony of the Great War."
