INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

As Europe buckles under Nazi occupation, Maisie Dobbs investigates a possible murder that threatens devastating repercussions for Britain's war efforts in this latest installment in the New York Times bestselling mystery series.

October 1941. While on a delivery, young Freddie Hackett, a message runner for a government office, witnesses an argument that ends in murder. Crouching in the doorway of a bombed-out house, Freddie waits until the coast is clear. But when he arrives at the delivery address, he's shocked to come face to face with the killer.

Dismissed by the police when he attempts to report the crime, Freddie goes in search of a woman he once met when delivering a message: Maisie Dobbs. While Maisie believes the boy and wants to help, she must maintain extreme caution: she's working secretly for the Special Operations Executive, assessing candidates for crucial work with the French resistance. Her two worlds collide when she spots the killer in a place she least expects. She soon realizes she's been pulled into the orbit of a man who has his own reasons to killâ??reasons that go back to the last war.

As Maisie becomes entangled in a power struggle between Britain's intelligence efforts in France and the work of Free French agents operating across Europe, she must also contend with the lingering question of Freddie Hackett's state of mind. What she uncovers could hold disastrous consequences for all involved in this compelling chapter of the "series that seems to get better with every entry" (Wall Street Journal).… (mais)

Unspeakable schmaltz, yet I enjoyed it. Is it the improbable character of Maisie, the predictable story, or the carefully recreated conditions of life in London and in Kent? I can not say. ( )

Maisie Dobbs is one of my all time favorite heroines. Her thoughtful approach to her life has actually inspired me on occasion. I knew what was coming at some point in this story, authors can play with small details of history, but something as consequential as the bombing of Pearl Harbor isn’t one of those things. As the tale progressed, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t worry that the reader’s time with Maisie was coming to a close as a result of the changes in her personal and professional life, but my hope truly is that there are more adventures for we readers with Maisie and her family. Like Maisie said, there is hope. ( )

This series continues to be informative, entertaining, and an engrossing read. England stands alone at this point in WW2 with allies, the French in particular as difficult to deal with as the Axis enemies. Maisie continues her investigative service as well as serving in certain clandestine roles in His Majesty's Service.
A murder witnessed by a teenage runner for several government services puts him in danger. Her subsequent attempts to protect him enmesh her in the murky morass that encompasses the SOE, French Resistance, and Vichy France. London's stiff upper lip during the Bomber Blitz provides the background as Maisie doggedly pursues her enquiries to a somewhat bitter end. ( )

Maisie Dobbs is now working for the SOE under Robbie MacFarlane giving agents a psychological assessment prior to their deployment overseas. She's also investigating a murder that young Freddie Hackett witnessed while running messages across London. With agents being killed and going missing, and MacFarlane putting up roadblocks to her investigation, Maisie's stress levels are rising and it's trickling over into her personal life and relationship with American Mark Scott. Not one of Winspear's best works, but still a quick enjoyable read with historical interest. ( )

Just finished this last night. Sorry to have it come to an end. Maisie is a great character as are all the folks that populate this series. I appreciate the spiritual and psychological aspects of these books. It really rounds out all of the characters, good and bad. What a challenging time to write about! I find it fascinating that many of the tales began with the author's family stories. I'm often sent off to learn more about particular events. I'm always grateful for the author's notes that tell us more about origins and places where facts were bent to fit the novel. Thank you again Jacqueline Winspear! ( )
