Pardonable Lies

by Jacqueline Winspear

ONE LINE SUMMARY: Maisie Dobbs, psychologist and investigator, looks into the deaths of two men lost at war.

I really enjoyed the first two books in the Maisie Dobbs series, but this one falls a little flat. Maisie has suddenly become far more spiritual — as in, attuned to the spirit world. The ending, with the revelation of the identity of the person who tried to kill Maisie, is largely anti-climatic and irrelevant. I wish that the author had changed the killer’s identity, so as to tie in better with the rest of the book.
