When Maisie stumbles on the deaths of refugees who may have been more than ordinary people, she is drawn into an investigation that requires all her insight and strength.

Critic reviews

"'I'm a huge Maisie Dobbs fan." (Lee Child)
"Maisie Dobbs has not been created - she has been discovered. And what a revelation she is!" (Alexander McCall Smith)

No surprises but blandly entertaining

Familiarity with just about everything from before sometimes is what a listener sometimes needs.
Gratefully, there are fewer of the usual overdone ,clichéd dialogue sequences which are often found in "light" genre fiction.
Be prepared for the plodding plot.
