“Put the kettle on, lock all the doors and settle in for a fabulous read with the newest adventure of the indomitable Maisie Dobbs! It’s 1932 and Maisie takes a job with the British Secret Service, going undercover to investigate ties between a small Cambridge college and the rising Nazi Party. When the head of the college turns up dead, Maisie finds herself torn between the Service and Scotland Yard in a complicated case involving echoes of the last war and omens of the next. A Lesson in Secrets confirms Winspear’s place at the top of the list of historical mystery writers.”—Kristine, Snow Goose Bookstore, Stanwood, WA
