Her father, Francis Dobbs looks back on her childhood and proclaims the pride she instills in him. In this profile, four characters very close to Maisie shed light on the beloved psychologist and investigator. But just who exactly is Miss Maisie Dobbs? Jacqueline Winspear’s debut won her the Agatha Award for Best First Novel and led to a New York Times–bestselling series. The historical mystery Maisie Dobbs was first published in 2003, introducing readers to an inquisitive, young, English, working-class woman as she opens her own London detective agency following World War I. Starting with book one in any of these series is preferable but unnecessary (note: unless noted, the book pictured is the first one).Īll of these series are currently available remotely as e-books and/or audiobooks.Four fictional characters are interviewed in this profile of the adventurous sleuth, by the New York Times–bestselling author of A Sunlit Weapon. You will notice similar themes, settings and time periods that I love as well as notice that I have a penchant for female authors, female protagonists and world weary male characters and series that focus on ongoing personal drama. I follow all of the series on the list and all of them are current, ongoing series with new volumes either recently published or soon to be published. The following list is long and yet still woefully incomplete (I have a more thorough unannotated list that I can send the curious). I realized belatedly that my love of early Nancy Drew books and Agatha Christie novels were always leading me here.Įarly favorites are the Julian Kestrelseries (the author tragically died after only 4 novels), The Alienist series, Amelia Peabody, Maisie Dobbs and the TV series of Cadfael(also a book series) and Foyles War. I started reading historical mysteries like a fiend when I realized that I could find all my favorite genres of fiction (mystery, historical and romance) all in one place.
Foes are vanquished, crimes are solved and justice is almost always served-so much better than real life!
My favorite thing about reading mysteries is that there’s resolution.
