Elegie for Eddie by Jacqueline Winspear

4.0

Ninth in the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear. In April 1933, Maisie Dobbs is approached by a group of grieving costermongers--men who sell vegetables and fruits from horse drawn wagons in London--who want to hire her to investigate the death of Eddie Pettit. Eddit, was considered slow mentally, was well loved, and was gifted in dealing with horses. Maisie accepts the job and investigates Eddie's death which takes her back into the neighborhood in which she grew up and allows her to reconnect with a number of people who knew her as a child. At the same time, Maisie is reevaluating her relationship with James Compton and she is also becoming increasingly concerned about the political situation in Europe.
