Reviews
With an affecting storyline and graceful prose, Winspear has again created a powerful and complex novel, one that will linger in memory as a testament to her talent and her humanity., The latest in Winspear's terrific series of historical mysteries finds her private detective-the fiercely independent, psychologically astute Maisie Dobbs-going undercover for the British Secret Service to assess the rising influence of the Nazi Party at English universities. Maisie is one of the great fictional heroines, equal parts haunted and haunting., "There's something exceptionally comforting about becoming enthralled with a new heroine, to whom a reader can return in an ongoing series. But she must be complex. . . . Depth is mandatory. I've found this in Maisie Dobbs. . . . For as long as each novel lasts, we live in Maisie's suspenseful, intelligent world." - Evelyn Theiss, Cleveland Plain Dealer "The combination of period detail and intricate storytelling makes A Lesson in Secrets seem distant enough to be romantic but sufficiently modern to engage our sympathies." - Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal "With an affecting storyline and graceful prose, Winspear has again created a powerful and complex novel, one that will linger in memory as a testament to her talent and her humanity." - Richmond Times-Dispatch "[A] splendid series." - Wichita Eagle "Maisie is one of the great fictional heroines, equal parts haunted and haunting." - Parade, The combination of period detail and intricate storytelling makes A Lesson in Secrets seem distant enough to be romantic but sufficiently modern to engage our sympathies.

Synopsis
Private investigator Maisie Dobbs receives her first assignment from the British Secret Service in A Lesson in Secrets , the eighth book in Jacqueline Winspear's award-winning mystery series. Sent to pose as a junior lecturer at a private college in Cambridge, she will monitor any activities "not in the interests of His Majesty's government." When the college's pacifist founder is murdered, Maisie finds herself in the midst of sinister web of murder, scandal, and conspiracy, activities that point towards members of the ascendant Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei --the Nazi Party--on Britain's shores. An instant classic, and sure to captivate long-time Maisie Dobbs fans as well as readers of Agatha Christie, Elizabeth George, and Alexander McCall Smith, A Lesson in Secrets is "a powerful and complex novel, one that will linger in memory as a testament to her talent and her humanity" ( Richmond Times-Dispatch )., Private investigator Maisie Dobbs receives her first assignment from the British Secret Service in A Lesson in Secrets, the eighth book in Jacqueline Winspear's award-winning mystery series.
