Journey to Munich

This story is set in 1938 when the Nazis were ascendant in Germany. Maisie Dobbs has returned to England after working for a while as a nurse in civil war-torn Spain. Before she can really reestablish her life in London, British Secret Service ask her to travel to Munich on a special assignment. She somewhat reluctantly accepts the assignment. She is to pose as the daughter of Leon Donat a British citizen imprisoned by the Germans in Dachau prison near Munich. The British government has negotiated his release, but the Nazis will only release him to a family member. She also agrees to try to find the daughter of a wealthy British-Canadian businessman. The daughter has gone missing in Munich and Maisie is to persuade her to return home if possible.
The mission appears straightforward but proves to be anything but. The Secret Service and Nazi SS have agendas and there are mercantile interests at work. As if that weren't enough, German underground activists and an American agent get into the mix and the daughter is up to something. Nazi Germany is not a safe or good place to be. Maisie has a dangerous road to walk.
Pretty good story. Orlagh Cassidy's narration is well done. Solid four stars.
