Story4.5 out of 5 stars 11
Maisie Dobbs got her start as a maid in an aristocratic London household when she was thirteen. Her employer, suffragette Lady Rowan Compton, soon became her patron, taking the remarkably bright youngster under her wing. Lady Rowan’s friend, Maurice Blanche, often retained as an investigator by the European elite, recognized Maisie’s intuitive gifts. The outbreak of war changed everything. Ten years after the Armistice, in the spring of 1929, Maisie sets out on her own as a private investigator, one who has learned that coincidences are meaningful, and truth elusive.

Publisher's Summary
In her fifth outing, Maisie Dobbs, the extraordinary Psychologist and Investigator, delves into a strange series of crimes in a small rural community
With the country in the grip of economic malaise, and worried about her business, Maisie Dobbs is relieved to accept an apparently straightforward assignment from an old friend to investigate certain matters concerning a potential land purchase. Her inquiries take her to a picturesque village in Kent during the hop-picking season, but beneath its pastoral surface she finds evidence that something is amiss. Mysterious fires erupt in the village with alarming regularity, and a series of petty crimes suggests a darker criminal element at work.
As Maisie discovers, the villagers are bitterly prejudiced against outsiders who flock to Kent at harvest time—even more troubling, they seem possessed by the legacy of a wartime Zeppelin raid. Maisie grows increasingly suspicious of a peculiar secrecy that shrouds the village, and ultimately she must draw on all her finely honed skills of detection to solve one of her most intriguing cases.
Rich with Jacqueline Winspear's trademark period detail, this installment of the bestselling series, An Incomplete Revenge, is gripping, atmospheric, and utterly enthralling.
What the critics say
“Jacqueline Winspear adds a fascinating episode to the Maisie Dobbs series, which justly gains fans with each new story. Orlagh Cassidy began the audio series with PARDONABLE LIES and continues her appealing portraits of the characters. She smoothly, and quite elegantly, delivers a variety of accents of the Kent countryside gentry and townsfolk...Cassidy nicely conveys Maisie's honest wisdom, sensible approach to her "inquiries," and spirited manners. The details of village life, a community of Gypsies, and the shifts in attitudes of the late 1920s make a vivid audio mystery.” —AudioFile, Earphones Award Winner
“Jacqueline Winspear's An Incomplete Revenge is an excellent option for a long car trip involving older kids, parents and grandparents. Read with zest by Orlagh Cassidy...” —USA Today
“This series is outstanding in atmosphere, characters, dialogue, sense of place and time; and Cassidy's narration is nothing short of equally outstanding, as she demonstrates her facile skills with the many accents, tones, and emotions Winspear demands of her. One of the best mystery series around.” —KLIATT

It was nice getting to know a little more about who Maisie is. And I’m relieved to know that she and Maurice have rekindled their friendship.

Another triumph!
An interesting and thought-provoking read. I love how the story of the town is intertwined with the other stories growing throughout the novel. Very clever! Imagery and allusion.
The narration by Orlagh Cassidy is excellent. I was very happy to see her back for a second go...

Never Again!
Never again will I read a negative review before listening to the book involved!I have been chronologically reading the Maisie Dobbs series and after a negative review of "An Incomplete Revenge" skipped it and went on the the next novel .
However,I decided to rectify my omission and Thoroughly enjoyed the novel from the plot to the characterization to the narrator...I sincerely believe that "...the willing suspension of disbelief" should be the credo of an intelligent reader who has enjoyed previously enjoyed works by the same author.Keep on Ms Winspear.......please

Good but not her best.
I noticed when someone writes a negative review people don’t find the review useful. Even so I feel like if I’m going to review a book at least I should write some type of review. This is my least favorite of all of her books so far. Although we have followed her life from an early age, all of a sudden she is part gypsy and is aware of all of their ways and language. Also she is proficient with a divining rod to locate any item if she thinks of it hard enough. I like her books and will listen to all of them but I think this story was weak and not practical or probable. At parts, I wish I was able to fast-forward because it was long and drawn out. In her previous books I never even thought of doing something like that because I like each part of the story. I hope her next book is well thought out and not written just to get a book out on the market.

The mystery in this one is weaker than the others in the series, but the character development is terrific. I really enjoyed it.

Maisie, you are brilliant!
When I read this installment of Maisie Dobbs' series, I felt it was the best yet. Maisie is a complex character, and far, far ahead of her time. How she is able to accomplish so much as a single woman in the 1930's is . . . well, fiction . . . but I love her nonetheless.
Author Jacqueline Winspear integrates the perfect amount of period detail, but in a way that does not feel overbearing. I always feel transported to another place and time. The highest complement I can give Winspear, however, is how she weaves the various subplots into each novel. I want to take a basket of food and offer to babysit for Billy and Dorene Bealle. I want to sip sherry with Maurice and absorb his wisdom. I want to be Maisie Dobbs!

The Best of Both
What made the experience of listening to An Incomplete Revenge the most enjoyable?
Love love love Orlagh Cassidy as narrator. I haven't listened to anything else she has narrated but I will based just on her name. She brought to life charactors I love.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
All of the Maisie Dobbs books are fastenating. I can never guess the ending before I get there.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The Maisie Dobbs series always leaves me deeply contemplative. Usually I laugh and cry along the way, but am always moved.

One of Maisie's Best
I am blown away by how much I enjoyed this book, as well as all the Maisie Hobbs' books so far. This one struck a chord and caused me to weep a few times throughout the story. Ms. Winspear is a wonderful, descriptive writer, with an astonishingly emotional connection to that period of history that belies her contemporary birth. I too feel that about WW1, as if I was born in the wrong place in time. This story, touching, as always on the war, also touches on the threads of what separates, as well as unites us, as human beings. It is painful, and sometimes hopeful.

Completely Pertinent Today
They say that Trees in a forest are connected in ways we humans don't detect. Is it possible that connection lives on in books and humans, by the spores of the paper coming from that forest? I fee this book so keenly, speaking to me about prejudice and world hate today. Wow, I did not expect this. I'm so glad I came back to this series.

It's 1931 in the series
I haven't found the first five books in the Maisie Dobbs series terribly exciting but there is a certain something that keeps you coming back. When I figure out what it is I'll put it in a review as I do plan to continue on.
In this book, Maisie goes out to rural England to evaluate this village to see if something is amiss as she is hired to check it out before James Compton decides to buy it for the family business. Maisie gets there and finds secrets that need uncovering and begins to weave her way through the mystery figuring it all out. It picks up steam towards the end and all in all was an enjoyable listen.
One of the things that makes the books interesting is the description of life in England during this time. Between the two wars, jobs scarce as a worldwide depression was ongoing, and many people struggling to just make ends meet. I'm an American of English descent and I sometimes wonder what made my ancestor way back when decide to make the move to the colonies. One thing for sure, I would have never liked the class system.
