Description

London, 1933. The discovery of a young Indian woman's body in a South London canal sets off a chain of events that draws the expertise of a renowned psychologist and private investigator, Maisie Dobbs. Two months after the initial murder, the case remains unsolved, and Maisie is approached by the woman's brother to uncover the truth behind her death.

As Maisie delves deeper into the case, she uncovers a complex web of secrets and lies within the Indian community in London. The investigation becomes increasingly complicated by the presence of a second, similar murder, and Maisie's own personal life is put under pressure by the demands of the case and her relationship with her lover, James Compton.

This gripping mystery, set against the backdrop of post-war London, explores themes of identity, culture, and the struggles faced by immigrant communities in the aftermath of war. With its intricate plot and rich historical context, Leaving Everything Most Loved is a compelling and thought-provoking read.
