In the thirteenth installment, Maisie returns with more mystery, adventure, and psychological insight from "one of the great fictional heroines, equal parts haunted and haunting." (Parade).When readers last saw Maisie Dobbs, it was 1938 and the world was on the brink of war. Maisie herself had tread onto enemy soil, going behind the German front lines on a dangerous mission and encountering an old enemy and the FĂĽhrer himself along the way. In This Grave Hour finds Maisie back in an England that has just declared war on Germany. There she stumbles on the deaths of a group of refugees that rouse her suspicions.Old fans will be delighted at Maisie's return and new readers will be hooked by the continuation of "a thoughtful, probing series.... it's Maisie's extraordinary empathy that strikes a chord."
