Pardonable Lies

Jacqueline Winspear

★ ★ ★ ★

Maisie is hired to prove a well known Barrister's son is dead.... The Barrister, however, promised his wife on her deathbed that he would find out if their son was still alive..... His wife was visiting different Mediums because she did not believe that her son died in the crash that destroyed his plane.....

At the same time, Maisie is also searching for what became of her best friend Priscilla's brother Peter.... As it turns out there is a connection between the two young men, a political secret that involves Maurice, a disabled MP who happened to be "particular" friends w/ the Barrister's son, and several attempts on Maisie's life.

I found the story of the two young men very interesting, how their lives intertwined, and what became of them.

Also of interest to me: the lies we tell, live & maintain; the subject of homosexuality; intuition; Spirits/guardians; and Spirit Mediums....

The book was well written and it held my interest.
