Elegy for Eddie
Author(s): Jacqueline Winspear
In this latest entry in Jacqueline Winspear’s acclaimed, bestselling mystery series—“less whodunits than why-dunits, more P.D. James than Agatha Christie” (USA Today)—Maisie Dobbs takes on her most personal case yet, a twisting investigation into the brutal killing of a street peddler that will take her from the working-class neighborhoods of her childhood into London’s highest circles of power. Perfect for fans of A Lesson in Secrets, The Mapping of Love and Death, or other Maisie Dobbs mysteries—and an ideal place for new readers to enter the series—Elegy for Eddie is an incomparable work of intrigue and ingenuity, full of intimate descriptions and beautifully painted scenes from between the World Wars, from one of the most highly acclaimed masters of mystery, Jacqueline Winspear.
Review(s):
“Long before the Downton Abbey craze, Jacqueline Winspear was writing remarkable mysteries about life in England circa WWI.”
“Compelling.”
“A detective series to savor.”
“A series that seems to get better with every entry.”
“When people ask me to recommend an author, one name consistently comes to mind: Jacqueline Winspear...Winspear chronicles the uncharted, sometimes rocky path chosen by her protagonist and delivers results that are educational, unique, and wonderful.”
“For as long as each novel lasts, we live in Maisie’s suspenseful, intelligent world.”
“[Catches] the sorrow of a lost generation in the character of one exceptional woman.”
“Engages the mind and enriches the heart.”
“A heroine to cherish.”
“Terrific....Maisie is one of the great fictional heroines, equal parts haunted and haunting.”
