I am enjoying the back & forth banter, about the Maisie Dobbs & Bess Crawford series
I have read a couple each and have liked them. Although I like the Rutledge series best. I must confess that the first Maisie Dobbs, ( The one on sale now ) is not one I want to read. Lol. Only because I don't want to go back that far in her history. I only started to read her books with the 3rd one. I know it's a good book, but I feel that I have met her character as an adult, and she has moved on.
This always happens to me when I miss the first couple books

Then of course they go on sale.
