This type of book works well for me in the audio format, but is also a welcome change between more difficult or nonfiction works.<br /><br />Rhapsody - I don't listen to anything too heavy or dense... those just don't work for me . Mysteries and contemporary fiction are perfect!<br /><br />DS - I'm usually disappointed in mysteries that have a great plot, but mediocre writing and characters. Maisie Dobbs has it all!<br /><br />Sandy - I think you really need to read the first book to get the background info...not sure if they need to be read in order after that though.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-2656691398533970682010-01-22T10:56:00.326-05:002010-01-22T10:56:00.326-05:00So glad you enjoyed this - I love this series!

In my opinion, the rest of the books are even better than the first, because like you said, she is laying foundations in book 1 for the series. I own them all and will continue to buy them--in hardback! My husband listened to one on audio and loved it too. <br />*smiles*<br />Kim Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13029664492284742183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-40874161855111170802010-01-22T09:33:36.806-05:002010-01-22T09:33:36.806-05:00I've read every one of these and love the seri...I've read every one of these and love the series, so different from other "sleuths".
