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.
Actually, even though you've read the subsequent books, you might enjoy the first book. Just think of it as a "prequel". I like the fact that there's a lot of time spent explaining her relationships with Lady Rowan Compton and Dr. Maurice Blanche. These relationships certainly color all the rest of the series.

And now I'm going to have to track down the Bess Crawford books!
