Shame on You by Tara SivecMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This short book packs a big punch on the humor front. These characters are open and hilarious. I seriously want to adopt the dad, because he's something else.
Also, there's another huge pro-women, pro-female relationships theme/message in this story, which is something I'm really coming to love about Tara Sivec. She makes strong female relationships a priority in her stories, and it's so great to read about women who bring each other up, instead of tear each other down.
The only thing that would have made this book better was for it to have been longer and explored the characters even more. I was not ready to let go so fast.

A deathbed plea from his wife leads Sir Cecil Lawton to seek the aid of
Maisie Dobbs, psychologist and investigator. As Maisie soon learns,
Agnes Lawton never accepted that her aviator son was killed in the Great
War, a torment that led her not only to the edge of madness but to the
doors of those who practice the dark arts and commune with the spirit
world. In accepting the assignment, Maisie finds her spiritual strength
tested, as well as her regard for her mentor, Maurice Blanche. The
mission also brings her together once again with her college friend
Priscilla Evernden, who served in France and who lost three brothers to
the war, one of whom, it turns out, had an intriguing connection to the
missing Ralph Lawton.
