American Agent: A Maisie Dobbs Novel | 
#BookReport I am really enjoying hanging out with Maisie Dobbs. And enjoyed Under Lock for #LMPBC. Almost done with the Hendrix which has been fun with all the 80‘s references and not too gross so far. I‘m way behind on FTMT but hope to catch up this week and The Magician wasn‘t holding my interest.
Weekly Forecast 🤷🏻♀️
pickMaisie Dobbs investigates again - this time searching for the murderer of a young female journalist. I feel like this was the most emotional I've ever seen the character, and found myself both smiling and in tears at multiple points. I loved it!
pickThis is book 15 in the series and Maisie Dobbs is asked to discover why am American war correspondant was murdered in London. It has been a while since I read a book in this series. I do like them a lot. I haven't read the earlier ones though so maybe one day! #bookcovers
pickA young US American is murdered within hours after Maisie spent time with her. Interesting twists. As Maisie untangles this mystery, she continues to pursue her adoption of Annie. Oh, and is that a new love interest on the horizon? All this is during the London Blitz.
pickAnother solid read in the Maisie Dobbs series. There is a great deal of sadness in these books, given the setting in London during wartime; but in this book, the author finally brings some happiness into Maisie‘s life again. I look forward to the next installment. #audiobook
Update 4.5 ⭐ (definitely a good one)What I'm reading at the moment ( a beautiful morning on my front porch!) I'm happy I decided to continue this series, as the last one left me feeling 'meh'. This one has me engaged.
pickI haven‘t loved every Maisie Dobbs book I‘ve read in the last few years and considered giving up the series, but this was good. I love the character development in this series. I think it‘s unusual to find that in a long-running series.
Also, I ruined this library book on accident when a water bottle I thought was completely empty got left open in my bag 😞.

I wasn‘t undercover. I just lost my Litsy password for almost a year. 🤦♀️ Glad to be back and reading with you all!
pickI love this series and adore the main character! Good mystery and realistic action scenes! I‘m happy with the major progress in the storyline! Can‘t wait for the next installment!
pickI can‘t believe I‘ve been reading about Maisie Dobbs for 15 books now! Wow! That right there tells you what a wonderful series it is! The American Agent was no exception! I love diving back into London with these characters I‘ve grown to love and feel like I‘m right there experiencing every thing with them. I loved the ending which honestly has me itching for more! One of the best WWI/WWII historical fiction series!

pickMaisie Dobbs has long been a favorite of mine. Now 15 books later, after all that she's already been through in her life, we catch up with Maisie during the London Blitz in WWII, where she's solving the murder of a young female journalist and just maybe re-opening her heart. If you've never picked these up I'd highly recommend doing so. Maisie is the epitome of what can happen when a good writer does well with character development.
panI‘m in the minority of this review....this is my first of the series, but I needed more. It felt formulaic and like an adult version of Encyclopedia Brown. Maybe if I had read all the other books, I‘d feel differently, but there‘s such great literature out there that is on my list that I‘m not going to invest the time in this series.
pick🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I love this series. Fifteen books is not enough. Keep them coming! Historical fiction ✔️ Mystery ✔️ Engaging characters ✔️
Turns out I have some self control (not much, but at least a smidge). I started this #audiobook this morning, but I am saving the last 2 chapters for tomorrow. I don't want to say goodbye to Maisie 😕
A book lovers quandary...
After @Andrew65 introduced me to this series I totally binged it and couldn't get enough. Then I had to wait and wait and wait. I missed these characters so much. Well the next book is here. Do I dive right in or wait and savor?? Who am I kidding?!?!? Welcome back Maisie!
pickSeriously, how does this author do it? Every. Single. Book. Is better than the previous one. Love Maisie Dobbs and so grateful to make this journey with her. In this one, she investigates the murder of an American reporter, while the Blitz is in full force and her personal life is in limbo. 💜💜💜 I highly recommend this series!!!!
1. Winning the lottery and traveling around the world. 2. My first real job was as staff tax accountant at Ernst & Whitney (now Ernst and Young). 3. I can‘t recall the last time I DNF a book. I usually end up reading them all...eventually. 4. Lots and lots - the most recent is tagged. 5. My 2 most recent followers @avgeyer @ashley_o13. #wondrouswednesday
pickAnother great entry in the Maisie Dobbs series. This one starts at the beginning of the London Blitz when a young female reporter who rides along with Maisie and Priscilla on their ambulance runs is found murdered. For many reasons, after this book, Maisie‘s life will never be the same. If you‘ve never read this series, Winspear is amazing and takes the time to be historically accurate. 4.5/5.0⭐️ #2019 Thanks Edelweiss and Harper for the ARC
pickWinspear's Maisie Dobbs is one of my favorite fictional characters and I recommend them in my libraries and on my blog. The American Agent signals the true beginning of a new chapter in Maisie's life, and is every bit as good as previous entries in the series. The mystery here is secondary to the bigger story of Maisie moving on with her life, although it is handled with the same cleverness and wit we have come to expect from Winspear.
Just received my ARC of this today from Edelweiss - it will be published at the end of the month so I thought I‘d better start now!
Finished this up last night and loved it - as I have all the other Maisie Dobbs books. I‘m pleased to see Maisie‘s home life become a bit more settled and am looking forward to how that changes the series going forward.
pickThis isn‘t out until the end of March, but that gives you time to catch up on an amazing series. Maisie is in the middle of the blitz in London in this one. I can‘t recommend the Maisie Dobbs series enough. ❤️❤️❤️

1. My sister visiting from Florida, my bestie‘s new rescue dog, Aunt Betti, my oldest grandson Cooper graduates from high school, and “my kids” in the neighborhood that make me smile daily.
2. This is the year of non-fiction for me.
3. Nothing bad, and a lot of blessings.
4. Eating low carb. Wish me luck.
5. The new Jacqueline Winspear. I am so happy to be reading an advance copy.
So excited to be diving into this! #ilovemaisie
