Georgina Bassington-Hope arrives in Maisie's office at the recommendation of one of their teachers from the girls' school they both attended. Georgina's brother, Nick, was recently found death and while declared accidental, Georgina is less uncertain and asks Maisie to investigate. As Maisie explores the world of artists that Nick lived in, as well as the complex dynamics of the Bassington-Hope family, she'll find that the lingering legacy of the Great War has a role to play in Nick's demise. Winspear's Maisie Dobbs mysteries continue to be really fantastic reads. With brilliant historical detail, ongoing character growth and development, along with a solid mystery these are great reads for fans of mysteries and historical fiction. Messenger of Truth (a Maisie Dobbs book), by Jacqueline Winspear opens in England in 1930, but all of the story is a by-product of WWI. The struggles and death of artist Nick Bassington-Hope in trying to find peace and healing with the barbarity of WWI by exposing its horrors via his art drive the storyline to a strange and painful ending. The raging unemployment of veterans and unbearable poverty which allows a toddler to die because medical care is unavailable for her family until the disease is too far gone to save her provides an important subplot.
MESSENGER OF TRUTH is something of a transitional book... the plot hinges on distant conflicts that have no immediacy, and the real issue seems to be whether Maisie will find a way “to move on, to dance with life again” — and, one hopes, to recover her original vocation.

Londres, 1931. El polémico artista Nick Bassington-Hope fallece de repente la noche antes de la inauguración de una exposición de su obra en una famosa galería de Mayfair. La policía dictamina que se trata de un accidente, pero la hermana gemela de Nick, Georgina, una corresponsal de guerra, no está convencida. Cuando las autoridades se niegan a considerar su teoría de que Nick fue víctima de un asesinato, ella busca la ayuda de su compañera de estudios del Girton College, Maisie Dobbs.
En una investigación que la lleva a las desoladas playas de Dungeness, en Kent, y al controvertido mundo del arte, Maisie descubre una vez más el legado de la Gran Guerra en una sociedad que lucha por no perder el rumbo.
