With the picture getting foggier by the minute, the race against the clock begins to bring the girl back home alive, find the one responsible, and just as importantly, understand the motive behind such a convoluted and needlessly-bloody tableau.

Pretty soon things take a drastic turn for the worse, as three of the daughter's friends are discovered to have been murdered. Though there might be some ulterior motives at play, Maisie accepts the job, hoping it stays as simple as it started.

With this not being the type of request one can refuse, Maisie heads to their meeting and learns he needs her to accomplish a relatively simple task: to find his missing daughter, heiress to the family fortune. The story begins innocently enough, with Maisie noticing a small but strange change in her assistant's overall behavior, while also receiving a request to meet with one of London's most prominent and successful merchants. In Jacqueline Winspear's second novel in the Maisie Dobbs series, titled Birds of a Feather, we are taken into 1930 London, right in-between the two world wars, where a far-reaching mystery awaits our protagonist fresh from her very first mystery. The majority of us have actually never seen or even given much thought to the consequences of war, to the way an enormous loss of life ends up affecting a society. Quite soon we will find ourselves a hundred years removed from the Second World War, and generally-speaking, I think we can say the world has been trending towards a greater state of international peace than ever before.

What at first promises to be a walk in the park turns into a grim massacre as three of old friends of the heiress are found murdered.

In the second novel of the series, titled Birds of a Feather, Maisie is hired during the Spring of 1930 to locate a runaway heiress. Jacqueline Winspear created with the Maisie Dobbs series a goose which still lays golden eggs to this very day.
