Journey to Munich is Book #12 (of 18) of the Maisie Dobbs series written by Jacqueline Winspear. I am hoping to finish the remaining books in the series in anticipation of the last title to be published in July of 2024. These titles are a pleasure to read - history, culture, psychology, mystery, suspense, drama, friendship, honor, truth, tragedy - all rolled into one satisfying read. “Working with the British Secret Service on an undercover mission, Maisie Dobbs is sent to Hitler’s Germany in this thrilling tale of danger and intrigue in Jacqueline Winspear’s bestselling series that seems to get better with each entry.” Brilliant. ***** When Maisie Dobbs finally returns to England she is persuaded by Robbie MacFarlane to impersonate Leon Donat's daughter and arrange for his release from Dachau prison camp. The mission doesn't go according to the "simple" plans that were in place but Maisie with her ingenuity prevails. It's nice to see Maisie back to herself after the troubles that she has endured in past books. Maisie Dobbs has returned to England from Spain and is staying with her friend, Priscilla, when she is approached by Robbie MacFarlane on behalf of the Secret Service. Leon Donat is a British engineer and businessman who has run afoul of the Nazis in Munich and has been imprisoned at Dachau. The British have arranged for his release, Maisie's assignment is pretend to be his daughter and go to Munich and bring him home. Before long Maisie realizes that not everything is as it seems and that things in Germany are deteriorating as the Nazis prepare for the Anschluss. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

I really had to completely suspend disbelief at several points. Maisie is absolutely shoehorned into this set of circumstances. Her decisions are not particularly true to the character (she's smarter than this) - and I'm still scratching my head over some of the character's decisions. I enjoyed book #11 quite a bit (many did not) - mainly because it covered a bit of history I know little about (and made me interested enough I sought out more information)
Do read the series. Maisie is a wonderful character. This installment is a bit weak - but it appears the series might be back on the rails for #13 (if there is a #13). ( )
