At this point, I feel like Maggie is an old friend of mine! You know that question of what literary character you would most like to have dinner with? I think Maggie would be an amazing choice! She's smart, she's led an adventurous life, she's imperfect and complicated. It would be an interesting dinner for sure! This time around, Maggie is back in California meeting up with an old flame. It's awkward, what with her investigating the murder of the old flame's fiancée, but things are never as they seem in a Maggie Hope mystery.
The plot revolves around a difficult subject. Racism was rampant during at that time, adding in the stresses of war and politics. The more things change, the more they stay the same. I thought the subject was handled well, it wasn't gratuitous and helped to move the plot. This series continues to be one of my favorites, I don't get bored and it certainly isn't repetitive! Another home run!
