Journey has Maisie returning to her native England after a stint as a nurse in Spain during the Spanish Civil War.

Or, Journey’s downside is in two compelling themes that threaten to dominate the simplistic plot that sometimes veers into unbelievability: Maisie’s grief after becoming a widow is thick and fascinating the well-described tension of a community on the brink of war may leave a reader wishing for more of the same. If there’s danger, it’s found in the deception of historical facts that slide into the narrative without calling attention to the skilled writing and steep research behind their appearance. Journey to Munich, the 12th installment in Bay Area author Jacqueline Winspear’s best-selling Maisie Dobbs series, proves Winspear particularly adroit on the high wire. Suspended above danger or delight, they face readers who become attached to certain traits and resent when an author unleashes an unexpected twist in the book’s protagonist-often a detective, investigator or spy-and others who threaten to depart if things become too predictable. Mystery book authors perform on a tightrope. But the Secret Service may have other ideas.ĭieser Download kann aus rechtlichen Gründen nur mit Rechnungsadresse in A, B, BG, CY, CZ, D, DK, EW, E, FIN, F, GR, HR, H, I, LT, L, LR, M, NL, PL, P, R, S, SLO, SK ausgeliefert werden.Jacqueline Winspear has written 12 thrillers starring Maisie Dobbs.
