Publisher's Summary
Britain is at war. Returned from a dangerous mission onto enemy soil, Maisie Dobbs is fully aware of the gravity of the current situation; her world is on the cusp of great change. One of those changes can be seen in the floods of refugees that are arriving in Britain, desperate for sanctuary. 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.
The 13th title in the Maisie Dobbs series from New York Times best-selling author Jacqueline Winspear.

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.

Perhaps the best so far!
Where does In This Grave Hour rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I am a huge fan of Jacqueline Winspear so I have enjoyed them all, but this story is particularly good as it is well organised and gripping while including all the usual psychology and good advice.
What was one of the most memorable moments of In This Grave Hour?
You'll have to read it to find out, but there is a very interesting bit at the beginning! And an indication of more stories to come at the end!
Any additional comments?
I recommend all the books, but if you have not read any of them, you should start with the first book as it explains the background to the main characters and how Maisie got to be where she is now.

Another wonderful story
I hope that one day that Maisie will find love and happiness one day
I like these stories because myself and my daughter can sit together and listen without fear of foul language or comment

Excellent and most enjoyable.
"In This Grave Hour," the thirteenth book in the Maisie Dobbs series, is another excellent mystery brimming with the atmosphere and anxiety of the now officially declared war. Winspear describes 1939 London (and several other locations) so masterfully you feel you are rushing through the capital's streets along Maisie in pursuit of truth and justice.
It's a classic Maisie Dobbs tale full of thrilling investigation, intelligent observation and impressive depth of understanding of the human spirit. Very enjoyable and most recommended!

Spellbinding
Came by this book by accident, not my usual read I’m more into Jack Reacher, Jason Bourne etc but In a word this was an excellent book. Grips you from page 1, in no small part because of JulieTeal’s fantastic narration , she is Maisie Dobbs. And her other character voices were on the nail. The plot was brilliantly woven around two other sub stories and I genuinely didn’t figure out what was going on until Maisie ties it all up. I’m hooked and will seek out all the other books in the series - happy to see there is about 18 or 19 of them, that will keep me buy for a while. Suggest you do yourself a favour and join me on discovering the amazing Maisie Dobbs.

A Habit of Secrets
Intricate, gripping tale, perfectly narrated. So many issues, so much idealism, so many broken hearts. caused by secrets. RECOMMENDED

Thoroughly enjoyed this book.
This book was excellent. It was so well read by Julie Teal I thought there was a full cast of superb actors. The story was engaging and moving. Because I have listened to a few Marie Dobbs novels, I feel like I know the main characters with a warm familiarity now.

Love Maisie Dobbs stories
I love Maisie Dobbs series. Play them on audible in the car. I love the research and this is the only book that I have ever read where I’ve looked up a song which was a legitimate world War, one song about nurses. Maisie comes from Lambeth where my father came from and her descriptions of the area and the people are reminiscent of my grandparents And their life in the east end of London at that time. My father was aSecond World War Vetrans and his stories include hearing his sister, calling to him to hang on that help was coming when he was in prison camp in Poland and within days, the Russians liberated the camp he was in. I like the glimpses of historical events such as the Spanish civil war and the evacuation of children to the country and commonwealth countries is interesting. The class descriptions seem similar to other British who dunnits of the era and a bit reminiscent of Father Brown and the like. Overall I enjoy these stories.
