Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple. Sue Grafton’s Kinsey Millhone. Alexander McCall Smith’s Precious Ramotswe. Every occasionally, a detective bursts on the scene who captures readers’ hearts—and imaginations—and doesn’t let go. Therefore it was with Jacqueline Winspear’s Maisie Dobbs, who made her debut just two years ago in the eponymously titled first book of the series, and is already on her behalf way to becoming a household name.

A deathbed plea from his wife leads Sir Cecil Lawton to get the aid of Maisie Dobbs, psychologist and investigator. As Maisie soon learns, Agnes Lawton never accepted that her aviator son was killed in the fantastic 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 more with her college or university friend Priscilla Evernden, who served in France and who lost three brothers to the war—one of whom, it turns out, had an intriguing link with the missing Ralph Lawton.

Following on the heels of the triumphant Birds of your Feather, Pardonable Lies is the most compelling installment yet in the chronicles of Maisie Dobbs, “a heroine to cherish” (Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review).
