"A heroine to cherish."
- New York Times Book Review

- Richmond Times-Dispatch on A Lesson in Secrets
"Reading Jacqueline Winspear's Elegy for Eddie, the solid-gold ninth installment in a wonderful mystery series that shows no signs of flagging, you can't help thinking that her nurse-turned psychologist-turned sleuth would make an ideal PBS heroine."
- Robert Bianco, USA Today
"Reading Jacqueline Winspear's Elegy for Eddie, the solid-gold ninth installment in a wonderful mystery series that shows no signs of flagging, you can't help thinking that her nurse-turned psychologist-turned sleuth would make an ideal PBS heroine..Not only do those stories boast great characters and well-constructed mysteries, they also touch on broader issues of class and money and the effect the war had on a society in flux..As always with Winspear, the why of the crime is more at issue than the who. But what sets Eddie apart from the earlier books is her willingness to call her heroine's motives and behavior into question..It adds a depth to the story and the character that makes the entire series seem richer and more true."
- Robert Bianco, USA Today
"One of the greatest rewards of the Maisie Dobbs series is that Winspear provides readers not just with a page-turning plot but also with a sense of social history..For Maisie newcomers and longtime followers alike, Elegy for Eddie is a revealing, often compelling venture into both the economic disparities and the international uncertainty of 1930s England."
- Dan Hortsch, Oregon Live
"A work of great humanity and a stellar entry in a superb series."
- Jay Strafford, Richmond Times-Dispatch
