Pardonable Lies, by Jacqueline Winspear

Bought from Amazon, deeply discounted. It's been awhile since I spent time in Maisie Dobbs' world, and I'm not sure I'll go back. The writing seemed clunky and repetitive in sections. I found it particularly odd that she often referred to her love interest by his last name—I know that can be an English thing to do, but it just seemed out of place and inconsistent with her character. I don't think she did the same for her previous love interest. There were too many convenient coincidences whose pages would have been better spent on Maisie's return to the clearing hospital.
