Messenger of Truth by Jacqueline Winspear
4.0
This is an interesting series. Maisie's method of investigating is thoughtful and deliberate, and Winspear uses that same slow-paced delivery to reinforce Maisie's investigative technique. In this installment, Maisie is not given several mysteries to solve but instead just one mystery with a number of red herrings, along with several smaller personal stories.
My only real criticism is with Maisie's paranormal abilities. I get the sense that Winspear isn't fully committed to them - they're sort of half-hearted. And so that part of Maisie and the storyline ends up coming across as a bit silly and not really fitting with her no-nonsense character.
