Resumen del Editor

A MILESTONE IN HISTORICAL MYSTERY FICTION AS MAISIE DOBBS TAKES HER FINAL BOW

London, 1945: Four adolescent orphans with a dark wartime history are squatting in a vacant Belgravia mansion—the owners having fled London under heavy Luftwaffe bombing. Psychologist and Investigator Maisie Dobbs visits the mansion on behalf of the owners and discovers that a demobilized soldier, gravely ill and reeling from his experiences overseas, has taken shelter with the group.

Maisie’s quest to bring comfort to the youngsters and the ailing soldier brings to light a decades-old mystery concerning Maisie’s first husband, James Compton, who was killed while piloting an experimental fighter aircraft. As Maisie unravels the threads of her dead husband’s life, she is forced to examine her own painful past and question beliefs she has always accepted as true.

The award-winning Maisie Dobbs series has garnered hundreds of thousands of followers, audiences drawn to a woman who is of her time, yet familiar in ours—and who inspires with her resilience and capacity for endurance. This final assignment of her own choosing not only opens a new future for Maisie and her family, but serves as a fascinating portrayal of the challenges facing the people of Britain at the close of the Second World War.

More please!

Good to read about all the characters. I hope more is coming! This book felt it was a few short stories bound together to tie up any loose character’s paths to end.

A Satisfying if Poignant Goodbye to a Great Character

I enjoyed the adroit weaving of reminders of past occurrences with present situations. The sweet and optimistic denouement

Last f Maise, Loved the book. As always she is an amazing writer. Her stories take you to a more difficult, but better life.

I was amazed by how the author wrapped up the series. I’ve enjoyed all of her books, and was astounded by her lovely autobiography.

These books are full of heart. I want all of the characters in my world!!

The only part I disliked is that this is the last book!!
Pretty much yearly, I re-listen to each book, adding the new ones at the end. Jaqueline Winspear never fails to surprise me with her insights and with her characters and their growth.

The amazing ending of this book was perfect.

Marie Dobbs character

Loved entire series. This final story is amazing and beautiful!! Winspear is a wonderful writer. I got to hear her speak recently

Perfect Next Chapter for Maisie Dobbs

I was afraid that this series was concluded, so was VERY happy to see another Maisie Dobbs story. Might be the best segment yet!

Bravo Bravo Bravo!

She saved the best for last. This is a marvelous ending to an incredible series. Just wonderful. Narration was perfect. 10 stars from me.

I can’t get enough of Massie Dobbs!!

Clean book. Very entertaining. Heartfelt and thought provoking. I’ve been able to learn about bits of the past that I didn’t know and see them through different people’s points of view. And the story lines have helped me see where they happened on the timeline. Thank you Jacqueline!!

Another fine Maisie Dobbs story

The past comes full circle in this tale that completes the series. Very well written and told as usual.

Excellent Summary! Well done!

The way the author summarized the series was excellent! I love the Maisie Dobbs series and I will miss looking forward to the next book! Thank you Jacqueline Winspear for a wonderful ride!
