Writing under several pseudonyms, she was more than prolific. Every time I read a new instalment, I think of another woman, who like Maisie, stood up for women’s rights and enjoyed a good mystery!ĭeath of a Green-Eyed Monster is the 34th instalment in the Hamish Macbeth mystery series, one of many written by the late MC Beaton. After her death, clearing out her home and dividing her possessions among children and grand-children I took on Maisie Dobbs. I had been giving them to my late mother-in-law for years, as she so enjoyed following Maisie’s life and adventures. I began reading this series a decade or so ago. It soon becomes a much more complicated case, when Maisie’s husband realizes that his wife has stumbled across coded information referring to a possible assassination plot he is working on. When a plane is shot down, and the pilot killed, Maisie Dobbs is contacted. The investigation that begins this novel involves the women of Britain’s Air Transport Auxiliary, who flew all sorts of aircraft all over the country during the Second World War. At home she is Mrs Scott, married an American political attaché, mother of a young daughter.
Now a mature woman, she continues to operate an investigative agency in London. We have followed Maisie from her time as a nurse during the First World War, to the Second World War. A Sunlit Weapon by Jacqueline Winspear is the 17th instalment in the Masie Dobbs mystery series.
