Maisie Dobbs 1. Maisie Dobbs, psychologist and investigator, began her working life at the age of thirteen as a servant in a Belgravia mansion. When discovered reading in the library by her employer, Lady Rowan Compton, Maisie is shocked when she realises that her thirst for education is supported by Lady Rowan and Dr. Maurice Blanche, a family friend. The Great War intervenes in Maisie’s education plans and soon after commencement of her studies at Girton College, Cambridge, she enlists to become a nurse. Finally, in 1929, Maisie sets up as an independent private investigator. Her first assignment, a seemingly tedious inquiry involving a case of suspected infidelity, takes her not only on the trail of a killer, but back to the war she had tried so hard to forget.
