Like in the first book, this one spends a lot of time exploring the aftermath of World War I on the people who lived through it. Soon she realizes her case is tied up with a series of mysterious poisonings that are happening. The plot: Maisie Dobbs, a private investigator in London after World War I, is hired by a wealthy businessman to find his adult daughter, who’s gone missing. I really wish I hadn’t read my review, because before that the dialogue in this book hadn’t bothered me, and after, it really, really did. I thought that was the only reason, but then halfway through Birds of a Feather I went back and read my review of the first one, and then suddenly remembered how annoying I’d found the author’s style of writing dialogue. Why I stopped reading the series: Clearly, the first book didn’t make much of an impression on me. I thought I remembered that these took place after World War II, but that was actually incorrect–so, nothing. What I remembered about this series prior to reading this book: Absolutely nothing.
