(from Goodreads review posted recently -- Goodreads name Joan, from Stratford): The mystery itself moves painfully slowly this time, and the flashbacks at the beginning (where we learn that Maisie overcame all her misgivings about marrying James and briefly became exquisitely happy) feel to me like a cop-out. I suspect writing "happy Maisie" would have been incredibly strange territory for the author, so this was the solution. That said, the post-trauma story is very well done, and for the first time ever I feel Maisie has begun to seem more like a character than a caricature.
