The series is set mostly between WW1 and WW2, though earlier books in the series include insight into Maisie's earliest years as a servant, and the most recent books have started to bring us into the World War 2 years. Though she comes from humble beginnings, her brains and sheer determination have helped her to get an education and make a better life for herself. Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs mystery series offers us one of the most formidable heroines to come along in some time. Starting with book one in any of these series is preferable but unnecessary (note: unless noted, the book pictured is the first one).Īll of these series are currently available remotely as e-books and/or audiobooks.In some cases, we earn commissions from affiliate links in our posts. You will notice similar themes, settings and time periods that I love as well as notice that I have a penchant for female authors, female protagonists and world weary male characters and series that focus on ongoing personal drama. I follow all of the series on the list and all of them are current, ongoing series with new volumes either recently published or soon to be published. The following list is long and yet still woefully incomplete (I have a more thorough unannotated list that I can send the curious). I realized belatedly that my love of early Nancy Drew books and Agatha Christie novels were always leading me here.Įarly favorites are the Julian Kestrelseries (the author tragically died after only 4 novels), The Alienist series, Amelia Peabody, Maisie Dobbs and the TV series of Cadfael(also a book series) and Foyles War. I started reading historical mysteries like a fiend when I realized that I could find all my favorite genres of fiction (mystery, historical and romance) all in one place. Foes are vanquished, crimes are solved and justice is almost always served-so much better than real life!
My favorite thing about reading mysteries is that there’s resolution.
