A young woman from India has been killed in London, and Scotland Yard
has not had any success finding the killer. The brother of the woman
has come from India to ask Maisie Dobbs to take on the case. Billy
Beale feels there is something quite not right about the case.
Shortly after talking to a potential witness, Maisie is told by DI
Caldwell of Scotland Yard that the witness has been killed in the same
manner as the previous victim. Maisie is also surprised when working on
another case, that of a missing boy, she discovers that the family knew
the first victim. Alas, Maisie just can't seem to tie the threads
together.
It's all one messy web, and although Maisie does finally figure things
out, she has her own personal conundrums to solve. The latter will be a
send off for her on a new adventure. Author Jacqueline Winspear has
once again written a good mystery, although not one of her best. A
quick read.
