Hi all.
I just submitted books 3 & 4 in the Maissie Dobbs series. They are:
Pardonable Lies, by Jacqueline Winspear
In the third novel of this bestselling series,
London investigator Maisie Dobbs faces grave
danger as she returns to the site of her most
painful memories from the Great War to resolve
the mystery surrounding a pilot's death.
Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone.
Alexander McCall Smith's Precious Ramotswe. Every once in a while, a
detective bursts on the scene who captures readers' imaginations—and
hearts—and doesn't let go. And so it was with Jacqueline Winspear's
Maisie Dobbs, who made her debut just three years ago in the eponymous
first book of her series and is already on her way to becoming a
household name.
In the third novel of this unique and masterly crime series, a
deathbed plea from his wife leads Sir Cecil Lawton to seek the aid of
Maisie Dobbs, psychologist and investigator. As Maisie soon learns,
Agnes Lawton never accepted that her aviator son was killed in the
Great War, a torment that led her not only to the edge of madness but
also to the doors of those who practice the dark arts and commune with
the spirit world.
Maisie accepts the assignment—determined to prove Ralph Lawton either
dead or alive—and in doing so is plunged into a case that tests her
spiritual strength, as well as her regard for her mentor, Maurice
Blanche. The mission also brings her together once again with her
college friend Priscilla Evernden, who served in France and who lost
three brothers to the war—one of whom, it turns out, had an intriguing
connection to the missing Ralph Lawton.
Messenger of Truth, by Jacqueline Winspear
On the night before the opening of his new and much-anticipated
exhibition at a famed Mayfair gallery, Nicholas Bassington-Hope falls
to his death. The police declare it an accident, but the dead man's
twin sister, Georgina, isn't convinced. When the authorities refuse to
conduct further investigations and instead close the case, Georgina
takes matters into her own hands, seeking out a fellow graduate from
Girton College: Maisie Dobbs, psychologist and investigator.

The case soon takes Maisie to the desolate beaches of Dungeness in
Kent, and through the sinister underbelly of the city's art world. But
to solve the mystery of the artist's death, she will have to remain
steady as the forces behind his fall come out of the shadows to
silence her.
Messenger of Truth is another vivid, thrilling, and utterly unique
episode in the life of Maisie Dobbs.
These are both very clean scans, and marvelous books IMHO.
Enjoy!
Donna
