These seem to be not only very popular, but also very highly rated, with SYKM listing 2 Awards (Agatha & Macavity) won for this 1st novel, along with additional 4 Finalist nods (Anthony, Edgar, Barry, & Dilys Awards). And many of the other books in the series have similar multiple nominations.
NB: the Amazon blurb refers to a 10th anniversary outroduction from the author which only exists in the paperback, and cannot be found in the TOC listing in the sample of this ebook version.

The Maisie Dobbs series is amazing! I'm anxiously waiting for
A Dangerous Place, due out in March 2015.
