alyssabug711's review against another edition
Although I appreciate the exploration of the impact of WW2 on British citizens, the role of women in the conflict, etc., I just can’t get excited about this book. I may return to it at a later date, but for now, I’m moving on to another.

The Consequences of Fear is the first Maisie Dodds book I've read (I know, it's number 16 - but I've just 'got' into books from this time period). It won't be the last.
For a first time reader, there were a few stumbling blocks now and then throughout this book, only to be expected, of course. There are clearly well-loved, repeat characters in this book, and the author does a great job of involving as many of Maisie's friends and allies as possible. This allows the case to be quite complex as she attempts to solve it, running between London and Chelstone.
I really enjoyed how deeply embedded the story is in the history of the period, and I think Maisie will be a fascinating character to uncover in earlier books.
Thoroughly enjoyable, even for a newbie.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for my review copy.
