Synopsis

London, 1931. Nick Bassington-Hope, veteran of the Great War and controversial artist, is suddenly found dead. His death from a fall, the night before a much-anticipated exhibition of his work, is recorded as 'accidental'. But his sister is not convinced.

Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Georgina Bassington-Hope believes her brother was murdered, and she turns to Maisie Dobbs for help. Maisie's investigation takes her from the desolate beaches of Kent to the dark underbelly of London's art world. Still fragile after her war-related breakdown, Maisie's immersion in her work could lead her to lose more than she bargained for, while a desperate family with strong ties to her heart urgently needs her help.

'A new Maisie Dobbs mystery is always a cause for celebration . . . Messenger of Truth is fiendishly entertaining' Time Out

Clever crime novel set in the 1930's. I loved Maisie Dobbs and her cockney sidekick and you will too! Muriel Bailiwick, Waterstone's Cardholder.
