A Maisie Dobbs Novel

De: Jacqueline Winspear

Narrado por: Orlagh Cassidy

Journey to Munich has descriptive copy which is not yet available from the Publisher.

Orlagh Cassidy is a treasure!

Having read, and reread the first 6 or 7 books, I wasn't sure if a Maise Dobbs as wonderful as the one in my minds ear could be found. Orlagh Cassidy is so right for this character. It's joy to have forgotten what I used to hear in my own mind. Also, she does a GREAT American accent! So many of them come off as a combination of John Wayne and Jim Carey! Brava to both Ms Casdidy and Ms Winspear!

This one was worth the serious subject matter

Good lesson (s) to be learned from this book regarding gratitude for our freedom, doing the right thing and loyalty. Some of the parts were pretty difficult to read, but unfortunately this is how it was at that time. Evil and unimaginable cruelty were a realty for 1000s of people young and old and must NEVER be allowed to happen again because of forgetting or denying that it ever happened before.

One of the better books in the Maisie Dobbs series

I really enjoyed this book. It was well written and interesting. The plot was well thought out and well presented. I didn't really like the end, when Maisie was back from Munich in England, it really wasn't a part of the book, getting the old gang back together, but a preparation for the next book in the series, and I am not a fan of doing that. Also, I really liked the reader, she was precise and very easy to understand, but there was some original German in the book and I was once fluent in that language and I wish the reader had bothered to get enough information so that se could say the German words close enough that they would be understandable. Wouldn't have taken all that much work.

Beautiful Narration

Cassidy's narration of this book is very credible. The storyline was not as intense as I was hoping for but had very enjoyable dialogue.

Engaging

The story is exciting and believable. The narrator is one of the best I have ever heard. If there is an award for a narrator this actor should be given an award.
