Mystery with a Message, Oct 2 2003

In Masie Dobbs, Jacqueline Winspear has created an unforgettable character and painted a vivid picture of The Great War and it's legacy of horrific effects on the survivors. As much historical novel as mystery, Masie Dobbs is a vehicle for a personal reflection on war and its aftermath. With a female hero who derives her power from her classical education and applied psychology there's a powerful role-model in this protaganist. I can't wait for the next in the series. Now that we have come to know Masie's roots, we can't wait to see where her brains, intuition, and her Swiss Army knife will take us.
