An Incomplete Revenge by Jacqueline Winspear

For this thrilling entry in The New York Times bestselling series, the extraordinary psychologist and investigator Maisie Dobbs delves into a strange series of crimes in a small rural community.

With the country in the grip of economic malaise, and worried about her business, Maisie Dobbs is relieved to accept an apparently straightforward assignment from an old friend to investigate certain matters concerning a potential land purchase. Her inquiries take her to a picturesque village in Kent during the hop-picking season, but beneath its pastoral surface she finds evidence that something is amiss. Mysterious fires erupt in the village with alarming regularity, and a series of petty crimes suggests a darker criminal element at work. As Maisie discovers, the villagers are bitterly prejudiced against outsiders who flock to Kent at harvest time--even more troubling, they seem possessed by the legacy of a wartime Zeppelin raid. Maisie grows increasingly suspicious of a peculiar secrecy that shrouds the village, and ultimately she must draw on all her finely honed skills of detection to solve one of her most intriguing cases.

Rich with Jacqueline Winspear's trademark period detail, this installment of the bestselling series, An Incomplete Revenge, is gripping, atmospheric, and utterly enthralling.

An Imperfect Vengeance, a New York Times bestseller, and four more Maisie Dobbs novels are written by Jacqueline Winspear. With her work, she has won various honors, including the Agatha, Alex, and Macavity prizes for Maisie Dobbs, the first novel in the series. She was born in the United Kingdom and now resides in California.
