Maisie Dobbs: He mākaʻikaʻi me ka intuition
Pono e hōʻike i kahi ʻano i ʻoi aku ma mua o ka hana. No ka mea, ʻaʻole ʻo Maisie Dobbs he koho maʻamau a pili ʻole paha. Pono ka wahine e lilo i mea noiʻi i ka makahiki 30 i ka ʻike hohonu pehea a me ke kumu. ʻO kēia ke ʻano o ka lilo ʻana o kēia ʻāpana mua i mea nui ʻoiai ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o nā hihia ʻē aʻe i ʻoi aku ka waiwai.
Mai poina iā ia. ʻAʻole ʻoe i ʻike i kekahi e like me ia. Lādana, 1929. Ua wehe ʻo Maisie Dobbs i kahi keʻena ma ke ʻano he mea noiʻi pilikino hou ma waena o Lākana a lilo ʻo ia i hoʻokahi o nā wahine makaʻu mua o ka manawa. ʻO kāna hihia mua, ʻo ka hoʻokolokolo ʻana i ka manaʻo hoʻopunipuni o ka wahine a kahi kanaka kiʻekiʻe, lawe iā ia i kahi i kapa ʻia ʻo El Retiro, kahi hale hoʻomaha mai ke Kaua Honua Mua.
ʻEkolu hulu keʻokeʻo
ʻO ke kanalua ma waena o kahi pakele a i ʻole ka ʻaihue. ʻO ka nalo ʻana o kahi mea aloha ke hāpai mau nei i nā nīnau pilikia. ʻOi aku hoʻi inā ʻaʻole he kamaʻāina wale ka makua kāne o ke keiki.
ʻO ka pilikia, ʻo ka ʻimi ʻana i ke kaikamahine hiki ke hoʻoweliweli i ke kūlana o ke kanaka maikaʻi, ka makua kāne hoʻohālike, ke kanaka kālepa manaʻo maikaʻi. Hiki i kahi hulina ke alakaʻi i nā ʻike i makemake ʻole ʻia ma mua.
Lādana, 1930. Mai ka wehe ʻana i kahi hui noiʻi pilikino ma Lākana, ua nui nā loli i ke ola o Maisie Dobbs: aia kāna keʻena ma Fitzroy Square, ua lilo ʻo Billy Beale i mea kōkua nona, a ua hoʻokele ʻo ia i kahi kaʻa ʻulaʻula. Ua hōʻoia ʻo ia iā ia iho he mea noiʻi, a ua loaʻa iā ia ka mahalo ʻia e Inspector Stratton o Scotland Yard, he mea hoʻokō maikaʻi loa no kahi wahine i hele mai ke kaikamahine a i ka detective.
I ka pūnāwai o 1930, ua hoʻokau ʻia ʻo Maisie e Joseph Waite, he kanaka waiwai ponoʻī, e ʻike i kāna kaikamahine, ʻo Charlotte, he wahine hoʻoilina. ʻO ka mea e like me ka hihia maʻalahi e lilo i mea paʻakikī ke ʻike lākou i ke kino ola ʻole o ka hoaaloha o Charlotte i make ma lalo o nā kūlana ʻē. Pono ʻo Maisie e hoʻohana hou i kāna intuition e ʻike i ka ʻike a me waho o kēia hihia.
ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻoluʻolu ʻole
ʻOi aku ka ʻono o ka wahaheʻe. ʻOi loa ke haʻi aku mākou iā lākou iho. ʻAʻole ʻoluʻolu ka ʻoiaʻiʻo e like me ka hiki ke hoʻololi i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo i kūkulu ʻia. Hana ʻia kahi mea like no kahi hoʻokolokolo. ʻO ka mea ʻoluʻolu loa ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā manaʻo mua e pani i kekahi hihia. Akā ʻaʻole ʻae maʻalahi ʻo Maisie i kēlā ʻano ʻoluʻolu o ka verisimilitude. A he pono pono kēlā i nā manawa a pau ...
Lādana, 1931. Ua make koke ka mea hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻo Nick Bassington-Hope i ka pō ma mua o ka wehe ʻana o kahi hōʻikeʻike o kāna hana ma kahi hale kiʻi kaulana ʻo Mayfair. Ua hoʻoholo ka mākaʻi he pōʻino, akā ʻaʻole maopopo ʻo ke kaikuahine māhoe o Nick ʻo Georgina, he mea kākau kaua. I ka hōʻole ʻana o nā luna e noʻonoʻo i kāna manaʻo ʻo Nick ka mea i pepehi ʻia i ka pepehi kanaka, ʻimi ʻo ia i ke kōkua o kāna hoa haumāna Girton College, ʻo Maisie Dobbs.
Ma kahi hoʻokolokolo e lawe iā ia i nā kahakai neoneo o Dungeness, Kent, a me ka honua hoʻopaʻapaʻa o ka ʻoihana, ʻike hou ʻo Maisie i ka hoʻoilina o ke Kaua Nui i loko o kahi hui e hakakā nei e noho ma ke ala.
Nā puke ʻē aʻe i manaʻo ʻia e Jacqueline Winspear
ʻO kahi hoʻopaʻi kūpono ʻole: kahi noiʻi ʻo Maisie Dobbs
Haawina ʻelima. Ua lilo ʻo Maisie Dobbs i kahi ʻano e noho ai i nā hanana a me nā pōʻino i kēlā mamao mamao, akā kokoke, honua o ke kenekulia 20. Ua hoʻonoho ʻia ma Maisie's London, ka mea i hoʻoili ʻia mai Sherlock Holmes iā ia iho, ke alo nei mākou i kekahi o kēlā mau hihia e pili ana i ka mea ʻaʻohe mea makemake e ʻike i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ... no kēlā me kēia kumu.
ʻO kahi hihia hou o Maisie Dobbs, ka mākaʻikaʻi hōkū o ka mea huna mōʻaukala cozy honua. ʻAʻole ʻoe i ʻike i kekahi e like me ia. He aha ke kumu o nā hanana ʻano ʻano ʻē i hana ʻia ma kahi kaiāulu liʻiliʻi? Pono ʻo Maisie Dobbs e hoʻohana i kona mau mākau a pau e ʻike ai.Heronsdene, County Kent, 1931.
Me ka ʻāina i loko o kahi pilikia hoʻokele waiwai, ua hoʻomaha ʻia ʻo Maisie ke loaʻa iā ia kahi hana maʻalahi; Pono kekahi hoa pili i kāu mau lawelawe e noiʻi i kekahi mau mea e pili ana i ke kūʻai ʻana i ka ʻāina. ʻO kāna mau noiʻi e alakaʻi iā ia i kahi kūlanakauhale nani ma Kent.
Ma lalo o kona helehelena mālie, ʻike koke ʻo Maisie i kekahi mea i hewa ma muli o ke ahi pohihihi e kū mau nei me ka hopohopo mau, ka manaʻo ʻino o nā kamaʻāina i nā limahana e hele mai e ʻohi i ka hops, kahi mau hewa liʻiliʻi i pau ʻole ka hana ʻana a me ka ka hāmau ʻana e pili ana i kahi hoʻouka kaua zeppelin. Manaʻo ka wahine ʻōpio he mea huna pohihihi e hoʻopuni ana i ke kauhale.
