Show Notes

Narrator Orlagh Cassidy uses her talents with accents and voices to draw listeners into the world of the indomitable Maisie Dobbs. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss the latest historical mystery from Jacqueline Winspear. In addition to masterfully delivering the diverse personalities of the returning characters, Cassidy provides a convincing voice for the visiting American First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Winspear, partnered with Cassidy, dramatically conveys the emotional impact of war on the soldiers and their families, introduces listeners to courageous female WWII pilots, and delves into the ways racism impacted Black soldiers stationed in the UK. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile’s website. Published by Harper Audio.
