Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear

 This first book in a series by Jacqueline Winspear is set in England in the aftermath of the Great War, known here in the U.S. as WWI.  Maisie Dobbs worked her way up from a lowly servant to a Girton College educated psychologist/detective. Maisie is asked to find out if a businessman's wife is having an affair.  She follows the wife to her weekly assignation-a cemetery where her lover is buried.  Why did the lover kill himself?  Was the burden of being a disfigured war veteran too much to bear?  A good story that left me wanting to know more about Maisie and to follow more of her cases!  294 pages.
