I really enjoy them. However, I do know myself, so I need to be in the right kind of mood to read/listen to a Maisie Dobbs book. Oh yes, there is a component that I mentioned in my other book thoughts - the psychic/super natural aspect. I don't care for it, but it isn't "in your face" at all. (Sorry, I'm very talkative this morning!)<BR/><BR/><B>Tanabata</B> ~ I love your photography! (Just thought I'd let you know.) :) I'm pleased to say that I think this series for the most part stays in the realm of "very good". <BR/><BR/><B>DebD</B> ~ Oh! I think you'd really like this then. Like I said above, the mysteries are what propels the book, but it's very character driven. Does that make sense? :) Anyway, start at the beginning because Maisie's experiences are gently incorporated into later reads.<BR/><BR/><B>Vickie</B> ~ I have surprised myself at how much I have enjoyed them. Hurry and catch up! :)Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-7541588875508976232008-08-30T20:26:00.000-04:002008-08-30T20:26:00.000-04:00Great review.
