Praise for Birds of a Feather
Winner of the Agatha Award for Best Novel
“Haunting . . . What makes Maisie such a remarkable operative is
the holistic philosophy that informs her humane methods . . . A
heroine to cherish.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“Birds of a Feather succeeds both as a suspenseful mystery and as a
picture of a time and place . . . Maisie’s liveliness of mind, good
sense, and kind nature make her a heroine a reader can enjoy
spending time with.”
—The Boston Globe
“If you like classic mysteries . . . you’ll love Winspear’s Birds
of a Feather.”
—The Denver Post
“The eponymous heroine of Winspear’s promising debut, Maisie Dobbs
(2003), continues to beguile in this chilling, suspenseful sequel .
. . As in her first novel, the author gives an intelligent and
absorbing picture of the period, providing plentiful details for
the history buff without detracting from the riveting mystery.
Readers will be eager to see more of the spunky Maisie.”
—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

Alex Award Winner
“Compelling . . . powerful. [Maisie Dobbs] testifies to the
enduring allure of the traditional mystery . . . even though I knew
what was coming this second time 'round, its final scene is still a
punch in the gut.”
—Maureen Corrigan for NPR’s Fresh Air, speaking on the 10th
Anniversary edition of Maisie Dobbs
"[A] deft debut novel . . . Romantic readers sensing a
story-within-a-story won't be disappointed. But first they must be
prepared to be astonished at the sensitivity and wisdom with which
Maisie resolves her first professional assignment."
—The New York Times
"The reader familiar with Alexander McCall Smith's The No. 1 Ladies
Detective Agency . . . might think of Maisie Dobbs as its British
counterpart . . . [Winspear] has created a winning character about
whom readers will want to read more."
—The Associated Press
"[Maisie Dobbs] catches the sorrow of a lost generation in the
character of one exceptional woman."
—Chicago Tribune
“A fine new sleuth for the twenty-first century. Simultaneously
self-reliant and vulnerable, Maisie isn't a character I'll easily
forget.”
—Elizabeth George, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of the
Inspector Lynley series
