I tend to go through a lot of cozy mystery audiobooks when I’m multitasking, but I shy away from ones involving bakeries, cats, or supernatural elements, which eliminates something like 80% of the genre. Fortunately, this one came from the library. I’d impulse-bought some of the later books in the series when the Kindle versions were cheap, so I figured I should probably catch up before getting to those. I read the first book and liked it well enough, and I picked up this book because I found interesting both the premise of the series-a 1930s detective solving crimes in a world still processing the psychological ramifications of World War I-and the premise of this particular mystery, which centers on the disappearance of the lonely daughter of a wealthy business owner. This year though! Here I am! So, first review… is it normal for you regular reviewers to finish a book and think, sure, that was fine, I liked it well enough, but then when you actually write the review you get really angry and annoyed by the book? Birds of a Feather, ladies and gentlemen.Īs you can probably tell, I had some issues with this book, the second in the Maisie Dobbs series. I’ve been reading reviews here for a few years (thanks for the Jane Steele and Act Like It recommendations!) and signed up a few times but never got around to writing out any reviews.
