Winspear never ceases to amaze me with her ability to transport us deeply into Maisie's world. The deaths at the center of this book are, once again, so realistic, tragic, and moving. I learned new aspects of British history so naturally as part of the story. Maisie and James both developed as characters and we have the setup for a whole new direction in the series. I look forward to seeing where Winspear takes us and how we get there.

A good mystery but I am tired of Maisie whining - I'm rich now, I have someone who loves me but I don't want to get married, I need to be like Maurice, I need to find myself. At this point I am kind of done with this series even though I do like the mysteries.

I liked this more than many of the previous ones. Good luck Maisie!

Ahhhhh Masie why'd you have to go and read [b:Eat Pray Love|19501|Eat, Pray, Love|Elizabeth Gilbert|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1294023455s/19501.jpg|3352398]? You don't have to find yourself on the back of colonialism and a few stereotypes. Really.

This final book in the series is better than the past couple of books have been. The character of Maisie, however, was not redeemed. She comes across and selfish and self-righteous, not overtly, but in her ongoing struggle to find herself. That journey would have been fine to weave into one or two books, but the constant circling back throughout the entire series was too much for me.

Interestingly portrays the stigmas about Indians in Britain in the past without being two extreme in either direction. Maisie sees a portion of society that is not often discussed in mysteries set in this era.
