    April 20, 2015 / 2 Comments

    Having read the first Maisie Dobbs book a couple of years ago, I wasn’t terribly intrigued and dying to read the next book. I was a little underwhelmed with the first book, it was ok but Maisie wasn’t the same as some of my other favorite female detectives.

A 18 hour plane ride seemed like as good as any time to read the next book so I decided to pick it up. It’s the spring…

I was immediately struck by the raw attraction between Danielle and Jon. Danielle and her husband Max are on their way back to Poland to be united with their son and family. Their are on board a passenger…
