I'd say go with Charles Todd's Bess Crawford series instead--Bess is also a WWI nurse.

I think Maisie Dobbs is dreadful. The first few books weren't that bad, but they're chockful of solecisms and Maisie is perhaps the most humorless heroine in fiction.
OTOH, I also don't like Todd's Bess Crawford, but I like their Ian Rutledge series.
