Another Maisie Dobbs book, this time set during the excavation of Dunkirk during WWII. It is an easy read and enjoyable.

Maisie Dobbs is investigating again as France falls during WWII. She is very much on the home front, dealing with all that entails. Missing young men and their ideas of heroism invade this book. Entertaining to read and hard to put down once it ended.

I‘m on a bit of a Winspear binge as I catch up to the end of the series so far. Well written as always this one had a lacing of sadness all the way thru. Young Joe Coombs is dead. It looks like a drunken accident, but was it staged? Maisie‘s heart is tugged.

Took a break from book organizing to walk. #litsywalkers Six blocks this time! Sunshine and 56F. Visited the two little free libraries nearest the house and traded for this one.

The human cost of war is brought home in this novel, as Maisie watches her friends grapple with the reality of their children joining the war effort. Another solid read in the Maisie Dobbs series.

I‘m so sad that I‘ve caught up with series and now have to wait for the next one.😢 Heart wrenching and full of mystery, full of the trials of war that everyday people in London endured. 💜💜💜

I'm so sad to get to book 14, because now I have to wait for the next one! I binge-listened to the entire series and really enjoyed it, but now I feel like I have said goodbye to an old friend. I'll have to patiently wait for our next visit.

Great addition to the Maisie Dobbs series! Loved how this book really got back to Maisie‘s roots as a small business investigator. Where what seems to be an easy missing person case turns in to something much bigger than expected! Loved the tie ins to what‘s going on during the first part of WWII. Love love love this series!!!

This seemed to take Maisie back to her roots: small investigation that turns into something more profound. But now as Maisie's gotten older the stakes are higher and the risks she once took are weighed more heavily. There was an interesting tie-in to Dunkirk in this. Always fun to see an event that historically has an impact at its beginning before the world immortalizes it.

I was on the road a lot this past week and Maisie kept me company all the way. Orlagh Cassidy does a superb job of narrating the Maisie Dobbs stories. Almost caught up with the series and looking forward to the next book.

I don‘t know what it is, but I am finding this latest book a hard slog, and I usually love Maisie Dobbs. #mystery #WWII

The first maisie Dobbs that I dnf. I just couldn't get into this book! I am so disappointed because I have loved maisie Dobbs. The writing did not pull me in to the story.

I enjoy this series.

Good series

Once again, the series gives a fascinating view of WWII from an everyday civilian viewpoint intertwined with an interesting case that‘s relevant to the time period. Maisie Dobbs is an engaging self made main character whose smart and overcome a lot of adversity. And Dunkirk, the movie, was one of the few films I saw this year, so the perspective of the waiting civilians was especially poignant. I‘m already looking forward to the next installment.

A little windy but finally warm enough to read outside during lunch!!

Next up. I've read this whole series. The first few were really really good. The last couple have been *eh*. I think this is number 14. I hope maisie captures me again like she did at the beginning

Sadly, I feel like I‘m kind of over Maisie Dobbs. Used to love them and now they are just OK.

I wasn‘t planning on indulging in back to back series, let alone two of my favorites- the Louise Penny books & now the newest release from the Maisie Dobbs series. These are very different novels but both offer a depth that isn‘t always found in mysteries. I have enjoyed all the ways her character has developed & changed as she has aged through the books. Great historical mystery series to try if you like smart female characters set in WW2.

Maisie Dobbs is one of my favorite detectives. I listened to this one and really enjoyed it, but I did feel there was something missing (I‘ll post a spoiler in the comments). I do still love this series though!

I don't know if it's me, the book, or a bit of both, but this was my least favorite Maisie Dobbs book. It took me weeks to read, and neither the mystery nor her personal storylines were particularly enjoyable or satsifying.

Great to see the 14th book in the excellent Maisie Dobbs series which was published (in UK) on 20th March.
I do love the covers on this series

Just having my morning tea with a new book about an old friend...

Spring in Des Moines: when 46 and sunny feels warm enough to sit outside in a sweatshirt with a glass of wine and read.

I finished 5.5 books on my trip, and then read the rest of Still Me at home this morning! The one side bonus to about 6 hours of flight delays... TONS of reading time!

Woot! My first answer for #friyayintro. Nervous bc flight 1 is delayed so I only have 20 min between flights at DFW. But it‘ll be fine, right? 😜
