About this listen

The second Maisie Dobbs mystery

Jacqueline Winspear’s marvelous debut, Maisie Dobbs, won her fans from around the world and raised her intuitive, intelligent, and resourceful heroine to the ranks of literature’s favorite sleuths. Birds of a Feather, its follow-up, finds psychologist and private investigator Maisie Dobbs on another dangerously intriguing adventure in London “between the wars.”

It is the spring of 1930, and Maisie has been hired to find a runaway heiress. But what seems a simple case at the outset soon becomes increasingly complicated when three of the heiress’s old friends are found dead. Is there a connection between the woman’s mysterious disappearance and the murders? Who would want to kill three seemingly respectable young women? As Maisie investigates, she discovers that the answers lie in the unforgettable agony of the Great War.

Great plot and character depth

Love Maise! Interesting developments in her personal and professional lives. I love the way she is humble, but confident. She reads people, but often is surprised when something is revealed about her own character.

I have become a fan of this series

I was looking for something to fill in between Louise Penny’s books and stumbled upon Maisie Dobbs. Quite a different kind of detective, but I’ve enjoyed these books immensely.

Second book as good as the first

A wonderfully satisfying series with kindness, humor & well written mysteries. The main characters solve cases with empathy for all involved in a time after WWI when society is rapidly changing and many, including Maisie Dobbs and her assistant Billy Beal, are dealing with the aftermath of the war. Never maudlin, the books bring tears and laughter in equal measure. Highly recommended.

Excellent story. Excellent production

Thoroughly enjoyed both the story and the performance. Ms Cassidy brought the story and characters to life with the various voices and authentic dialircts of each.
