At the age of thirteen, Maisie Dobbs, a psychologist and investigator, started working as a servant in a Belgravia estate. Her employer, Lady Rowan Compton, later found her reading in the library. Maisie, who was afraid she would be fired, is astonished to learn that Lady Rowan and a family friend, Dr. Maurice Blanche, would be funding her desire for school. However, Maisie's aspirations are derailed by the Great War, and shortly after she enrolls in Girton College in Cambridge to begin her studies, she leaves the country to serve as a nurse abroad.
Years later, in 1929, Maisie opens her own company after working as an apprentice for the well-known Maurice Blanche, who was well regarded for his work with Scotland Yard. Her first task, an apparently tiresome investigation into a case of alleged adultery, leads her not only to pursue a murderer but also to revisit the conflict she had made a concerted effort to put behind her.
