It's early 1938, and Maisie Dobbs is back in England. On a fine yet chilly morning, as she walks toward Fitzroy Square - a place of many memories - she is intercepted by Brian Huntley and Robert MacFarlane of the Secret Service. The German government has agreed to release a British subject from prison, but only if he is handed over to a family member. Because the man's wife is bedridden and his daughter has been killed in an accident, the Secret Service wants Maisie - who bears a striking resemblance to the daughter - to retrieve the man from Dachau....

Both shockingly frank and deftly restrained, her story tackles the difficult, poignant, and fascinating family accounts of her paternal grandfather’s shell shock; her mother’s evacuation from London during the Blitz; and her soft-spoken animal-loving father’s torturous assignment to an explosives team during WWII.

Histoire
London, 1940: Winston Churchill has just been sworn in, war rages across the Channel, and the threat of a Blitz looms larger by the day. But none of this deters Maggie Hope. She graduated at the top of her college class and possesses all the skills of the finest minds in British intelligence, but her gender qualifies her only to be the newest typist at No. 10 Downing Street. Her indefatigable spirit and gifts for codebreaking, though, rival those of even the highest men in government, and Maggie finds that working for the prime minister affords her a level of clearance she could never have imagined....
Description
Maisie Dobbs - "a female investigator every bit as brainy and battle-hardened as Lisbeth Salander" (Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air), faces danger and intrigue on the home front during World War II in this poignant entry (number 14) in Jacqueline Winspear's New York Times best-selling series - "a series that seems to get better with every entry" (Tom Holland, Wall Street Journal).
Spring 1940. With Britons facing what has become known as "the Bore War" - nothing much seems to have happened yet - Maisie Dobbs is asked to investigate the disappearance of a local lad, a young apprentice craftsman working on a "hush-hush" government contract. As Maisie's inquiry reveals a possible link to the London underworld, another mother is worried about a missing son - but this time the boy in question is one beloved by Maisie.
As USA Today's Robert Bianco says, "with clarity and economy, Winspear lays the historical groundwork.... The setting matters, but what may matter more is the lovely, sometimes poetic way Winspear pushes her heroine forward.... May she shine on the literary scene for many books to come."
Ce que les critiques en disent
"[Narrator Orlagh] Cassidy's accent, tone, and pace are well tuned to Maisie's strong and empathetic character. Cassidy draws on her full palate of British accents to differentiate a large cast of secondary characters, male and female, old and young." (AudioFile)

Maisie, Billy, and All Return. Yes!
It's like old friends we haven't heard from for a while return. I've followed Maisie through all of Jaqueline Winspear's books. This one doesn't disappoint. One of Pricilla's sons becomes a hero, but at a very high price. Billy's oldest son survives Dunkirk, but must return to the fight. WWII is underway with all the sacrifices for the characters we love. Maisie's work continues as she waits for a decision that is already changing how she works. This suggests there's another book, a continuation of Maisie to come. I hope it won't be too long. I love these tales because it's like the characters are real people I know.

A Great Story
I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. This is book fourteen in the Maisie Dobbs series. Maisie was a nurse in World War One; then trained to be a psychologist/investigator after the war. The story opens in May 1940. Great Britain is again at war with Germany. Maisie has been hired to investigate the disappearance of a fifteen-year-old boy, Joseph Combes. He is an apprentice painter working for a company that has a government contract to go about the countryside to paint a special fire-retardant chemical on strategic government and military buildings.
The book is well written and researched. The author has the story set with a background of Dunkirk and the battle of Britain. This is a great historical novel. The plot twist and turns around family drama. I have read that Winspear bases a lot of the plot on her own family’s experiences. If you enjoy historical novels this book would provide you great enjoyment.
I read this as an audiobook downloaded from Audible. The book is ten and a half hours. Orlagh Cassidy does a superb job narrating the book. Cassidy is one of my favorite narrators. Cassidy is an actress, voice over artist and award-winning audiobook narrator.

Listen to this book!!!
I am a big fan of Maisy Dobbs and have been reading about her for a while. I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy listening to a book about her, though. But I decided to give it a try, and I'm glad I did!! It was a great experience in every way. The narrator made me feel like I was there, and she played all the voices just right, with different tones and inflections. I especially enjoyed Robert McFarland' voice. The storyline was fantastic, and the characterization was rich. I learned more about each person. The reoccurring characters have grown in this book. I found the book's premise to be very interesting and could see how something like this could happen. And I loved the World War II background. This was a wonderful book!,,

Excellent British historical detective mystery!
Author Jacqueline Windspear began her wonderful Maisie Dobbs historical detective series in 2003. The first novel was set in London soon after the end of WWI with Maisie setting up her detective agency. Maisie's life has changed a lot since including personal tragedy. To Die buy Once is Book 14 in the series and it is set in 1940 early in WWII. Every novel has been great, even the painful ones. This one is no exception. If you are looking for a similar series Molly Morphy by Rhys Bowen is similar in many ways. Rhys Bowen's Royal Spyness series is also somewhat similar but is much lighter and more fun than Maisie Dobbs.
I'm a huge fan of narrator and American actress Orlagh Cassidy, but her narration of To Die but Once is disappointing because her English accent is off.

Brilliant Series with perfect period details
This book is yet another excellent mystery & perfect period piece. Maisie Dobbs is a woman working in a man’s world and a poor woman come to wealth so she knows how to meet nearly everyone where they are. The mystery is always good with an interesting side arc or two to keep things mixed up & the period details are brilliantly woven into the story line to give context & texture to the story

Outstanding again!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, I have recommended the series before to several friends and this one is no exception. While I wish the books would come faster, I appreciate the craft and skill involved.
What did you like best about this story?
I love Maisie's perspicacity. I love how she uses her patience and tenacity to perceive things that many would miss. The other part that I liked is something I hesitate to say lest I give away too much!
What does Orlagh Cassidy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Ms. Cassidy *is* Maisie Dobbs for me. There is a gentleness in her voice which matches the character beautifully. Each character is distinct and I appreciate that the male characters are performed in a way that I don't notice. They sound masculine, not like a woman trying to sound like a man.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely.
Any additional comments?
I cannot wait for the next one!

The Day Has Come...
...that all Maisie Dobbs fans have known to be inevitable. It's 1940, WWII has officially been declared, and we now must witness as the characters we have come to love watch another generation (often, including their own children) face loss of innocence and the horrors they faced themselves in the first world war (and in the early books of this series).
I have been with Maisie and Winspear since the first book, and there have been ups and downs, certainly for the characters, but also for readers. This addition, in my opinion, is definitely in the Up category.
An awful lot is going on in To Die but Once; some might suggest it's a bit too much. WWII is really getting started for England, and we know Dunkirk is just around the corner. There are justified fears of invasion by Germany. War profiteering is raising its ugly head. Young boys are signing up and longing to get involved in the coming confrontation. Meanwhile, on the civilian side, Maisie is continuing her business and looking into a murder. There's a crime family, fear of spies, and even issues concerning harmful chemicals, adoption rules and gardening! A Lot!
Personally, I have always had trouble with the very syrupy-sweet delivery of Orlagh Cassidy in the audio versions of the Maisie adventures. These are old-fashioned mysteries, I know, but surely people never really talked that way!
Still, Winspear definitely delivers on the atmosphere of looming war. As readers and listeners experience the action with both hindsight and foresight, the emotion is raw and real. We ache for those who face another round of unimaginable war, and our hearts are broken by the prospects faced by their children. In this book, sixteen year olds are in very real dangers that they can't possibly understand or expect - both in war and on the Homefront. I finished To Die but Once ready to plunge into the next part of Maisie's journey.

To Die but Once
I love this series! Masie and her crew seem like old friends and Ms Winspear captures the mood of England perfectly. I have a strong sense of being part of the scene - both city and countryside. Maxie's divergent thought process is fun to watch develop. All in all a marvelous book!
