It included a superannuated jetsetter and her junkie nephew, a bad-tempered, ultra-British major, a boisterous Baron and Baroness, and an extremely reticent best-selling author. They were there under the aegis of one Sebastian Mailer, who had promised them a most unconventional tour—a claim no one later disputed, after encountering murder, blackmail and drug-running.

KLIKNITE NA LINK http://www.kupindo.com/Clan/zambezi/SpisakPredmeta `Maisie Dobbs` (MD) is the first in a series of thirteen crime fiction(?) novels by Jacqueline Winspear featuring her ace investigator, Maisie Dobbs. I became attracted to this series by a review I read this summer on the Crime Fiction Lovers blog of her current release, `In This Grave Hour` , which combines London, crime fiction, and WWll - three key elements of a perfect storm for me. MD begins in the spring of 1929. Maisie has just opened a new office to ply her psychology and investigation skills. She sits, waiting for the phone to ring. Before too long and thanks to a referral by a friend she has her first client, a well-to-do gentleman who suspects his wife of improper behavior. Maisie follows the suspect woman to.....(wait for it).....a cemetery! And soon after, a rather lengthy flashback takes us to Maisie`s humble origins. She was born in 1897, the daughter of a costermonger. A what? My trusty Kindle quickly replied to my query advising me that a costermonger was an old time deliverer of produce most often transported in a horse drawn cart. Mom died early, finances are tight, Dad worries for Maisie`s future. Then the story takes on some of the elements of Pygmalion and Maisie becomes the project of Lady Rowan and her friend, the very wise Maurice. Lots of nice, cute, warm hearted things happen. Yet Maisie is a serious girl, the years advance quickly and Maisie is a surgical nurse at the front. As in WWl front, on a battlefield somewhere in France having lied about her age to enlist. And she encounters, once again, Dr Simon Lynch whom she met at a charming dance party only a chapter or two ago. End of flashback. Hints of sadness. Back to the case. The situation has changed considerably and now attention is focused on the Retreat, a farm of sorts, a closed society of soldiers severely damaged by wounds from the War, many hideous facial disfigurements, others emotional wounds. The Retreat is supposedly modeled on a very successful effort by the French who have had some success in rehabbing their patients back into society over time. But something about the Retreat doesn`t feel right; because of Lady Rowan`s personal interest in it, Maisie investigates further. Not a big huge Hollywood climax, but more interesting flashback addressing some of those questions you will have but not all of them. So I now have read the first and most recent of the series and have formed a rather good picture of where it is going. Clearly a mix of history, adventure, mystery, romance, and excellent story telling. Winspear`s prose is excellent and her stories are well plotted. I find the mystery component a bit weak, and this is usually the key determining factor for me. But Winspear`s stories are so well told that I will read several more at a minimum, probably in order since the stories do link in a chronological fashion. Save for the crime bit, MD would be a 5 but I must restrain myself and go with a 4 for now.. The second book is entitled `Birds of a Feather`. All are on Amazon Kindle and I am sure you can find paper editions of each via Amazon as well though I haven`t looked. I recommended the series to a retired neighbor lady a few months ago and recently she told me she read the entire series straight through and enjoyed it tremendously.

DEN BRAUN (1964) je autor brojnih bestselera, uključujući i Da Vinčijev kod, jedan od najprodavanijih romana svih vremena. Den Braun je završio koledž Amherst i akademiju Filips Ekseter, na kojoj je predavao engleski, prije nego što se potpuno posvetio pisanju. Njegovo zanimanje za kriptografiju i tajne državne agencije navelo ga je da napiše svoj prvi roman, Digitalna tvrđava, koji je brzo izbio na prvo mesto eBook top-liste. Roman istražuje tanku liniju između građanske privatnosti i nacionalne bezbednosti. Braunov sljedeći roman tehno-triler, Tačka prevare, bavi se sličnim pitanjima morala u politici, nacionalnoj bezbednosti i državnim tajnama. Romani su mu prevedeni na više od 40 jezika. MG62 (N)
