Publisher's Summary

An enthralling tale of love and war, terror and survival from best-selling author Jacqueline Winspear.  

When Catherine Saxon, an American correspondent reporting on the war in Europe, is found murdered in her London digs, news of her death is concealed by British authorities. Serving as a linchpin between Scotland Yard and the Secret Service, Robert MacFarlane pays a visit to Maisie Dobbs, seeking her help. Accompanied by an agent from the US Department of Justice - Mark Scott, the American who helped Maisie escape Hitler’s Munich in 1938 - he asks Maisie to work with Scott to uncover the truth about Saxon's death. Maisie must balance the demands of solving this dangerous case with her need to protect the young evacuee she has grown to love. 

Entangled in an investigation linked to the power of wartime propaganda and American political intrigue being played out in Britain, Maisie will face losing her dearest friend.

Great story. Mostly good narration

Terrific story as usual with the balance of cool-headed detection, drama and romance in wartime setting.
Julie Teal is a wonderful professional narrator with a wide variety of the male and female voices, tones, pace and pauses but her “Australian” accent was ghastly. If she mangled any UK regional accent that badly, she’d be deported.

Still hooked

Julie Teal your UK & USA accents are just so good bringing it all to life. Us antipodeans will forgive your Australian/NZ attempts - luckily they were small parts & Im sure everyone’s accents became one during the war 🥰
