Pardonable Lies by Jacqueline Winspear

The mystery plot in this book was better than the previous two Maisie Dobbs. Maisie must go to France to trace the disappearance of a WWI aviator in a case that becomes entwined with the search for the final resting place of the brother of one of her friends and a murder case in London. There was a bit too much work done by Maisie in this book--I felt like the author relied too much on Maisie's psychological insights (which I still don't buy) and on evidence that wasn't shared with the reader in time for the reader to make deductions on her own. Still, the bits about WWI are exciting and I liked the case itself.
