 Georgina Bassington-Hope is sent Maisie’s way because she thinks  Inspector Stratton and company did less than stellar work investigating the death of her twin brother. Georginia believes her brother, Nick, did not accidentally fall from the scaffold in the art gallery. She feels like he was murdered. Will Maisie and her trusty assistant, Billy, be able to uncover the truth? The suspects are many, Nick’s three artist friends, his brother, Harry with a gambling problem, the wealthy American that has paid handsomely for Nick’s previous works, and many more! When Maisie and Billy discover their office ransacked and their case map stolen they basically had to start over from square one.  There’s some heartbreaking in this novel as readers see the class difference in London at this time, however class does not determine joy. Kate connected this to a book she’s reading, Created to Be His Help Meet, that explains how Gratitude comes before Joy. God stresses the importance of gratitude over and over in His Word. Join Kate and Sheila as they reconnect with Maisie Dobbs. It’s 1931, she hits  the streets of London and the countryside as well to track down the truth. Some of our favorite quips and quotes: “How might I serve?” (The most important question, learned from her mentor, Maurice) “Things are rarely as they seem.” “Choose your battles, Billy.” “...if I am to keep Georgina Bassington-Hope out of your way, to effectively pick up your laundry, then wash and fold it, I should say you owe me a bit more than 15 minutes in a 3rd rate caff on Oxford Street.” : ) Maisie letting Inspector Stratton have a piece of her mind.
