I cannot say how much I love all these details of life in the 1930s. The reader (and Maisie) learns about this, as well as observes the tensions between the Londoners, the people in Kent, and the gypsies. The Londoners are given a place to sleep and get paid for a few weeks, they escape city life. It’s the time of year when working class Londoners take a working vacation in places like Kent, harvesting hops.
James Compton wants to buy a business in the town, but a bunch of petty crimes and small fires gives him concern, enough to hire Maisie to look into it. A zeppelin dropped a bomb on an village in Kent and the town seems to have never recovered.
I cannot begin to say how much I adore Maisie.Īn Incomplete Revenge offers a look at a village scarred by the Great War. Maisie’s past, her education, intellect, and intuition mean she fits in many places, listens, hears more than people say and sees more than people realize. The Good: This is fifth in the series about Maisie, a girl who began life as a servant and has ended up a university-educated woman running her own business as a psychologist and private investigator.
