The Comfort of Ghosts by Jacqueline Winspear Book Summary

The final installment of Jacqueline Winspear’s iconic, award-winning, and internationally bestselling series—“a heartfelt tribute to the twentieth century’s bravest women” (Lee Child)

Intrepid investigator Maisie Dobbs reckons with profound mysteries from her past in a war-torn nation grappling with its future.

London, 1945: Four adolescent orphans with dark histories are squatting in an abandoned Belgravia mansion. When an ill British Army veteran reeling from his experiences on the front finds shelter alongside them, Maisie Dobbs, psychologist and investigator, arrives in the hope of finding a solution to the “squatter” problem. She is instantly drawn in by the stories told by the orphaned adolescents, of their perilous wartime lives, and is called to care for the ailing soldier, too.

Her quest to help these tortured souls brings to light a decades-long mystery—one concerning her first husband, James Compton, who was killed while flying an experimental fighter aircraft some five years before the war. Soon, Maisie is forced to examine her own past and to question the truths she had come to believe about her own story.

Over seventeen previous books in the Maisie Dobbs series, hundreds of thousands of readers worldwide have fallen in love with this fearless, compassionate woman—this final adventure not only ties up all Maisie’s loose ends, but also serves as a fascinating portrayal of life in Great Britain after the close of the second World War.
