Showing Messenger of Truth by Jacqueline Winspear

London 1931. When controversial artist Nick Bassington-Hope is found dead, the police believe it is an open and shut case and his death from a fall is recorded as ‘accidental’. But his sister is not convinced, so she turns to Maisie Dobbs for help, drawn by the investigator’s growing reputation for her unique methods of solving crimes.

Moving from the desolate beaches of the English coast to the dark underbelly of post-war London, and full of intriguing characters, Maisie’s new investigation entertains and enthrals at every turn.
