Journey to Munich

Poor Maisie Dobbs. A woman who once climbed many figurative mountains now flits around foreign countries really messing up intrigues. She's not able to retain a disguise or manage anything undercover (what undercover agent leaves her actual passport laying around her hotel room?). She doesn't seem to pay attention to what is going on around her and is constantly being “found” by various agents on both sides. There are also far too many coincidences for my taste!

And she will not stop going on about James and her lost baby; that may sound cruel and harsh, but this character didn't care for James until after he was killed in a flying accident. Since that rather sloppily-done bit of off-book drama, we have to listen to constant pining after someone Maisie really didn't love. Of course, Billy and Sandra are magically available and ready to work as soon as Maisie returns. Perhaps the publisher realized that Maisie clearly cannot manage any investigating on her own? I really ought to stop with the series at this point as it is outrageously silly.
