Pardonable Lies (Abridged): A Maisie Dobbs Novel Audiobook

" This is a great series. Great vacation reads or escape from work reading. "

" I like each Maisie Dobbs book more and more, although I didn't care as much for this audio book narrator as the last one, and I'm a little peeved that the narrator changes with each installment. This one did a rather annoying voice for Andrew Dean, and I couldn't tell if he was supposed to be annoying or not, and I kept expecting him to turn into a jerk (thankfully, he didn't). We get to know Maisie better with each case. The whole series is recommended if you like historical mysteries that are more about the psychology (of the crime and the crime-solving) than alibis and train schedules. "

" Not the best in the series, but still pretty pleasurable read. "

" I am just an avid fan of the Maisie Dobbs series and I have enjoyed everyone I have read thus far. "

" I've loved this series so far, but this book was even better than the first two! I found myself clapping and shouting bravos in my head as I finished and I couldn't wait to pick up the fourth installment. I can foresee myself feeling very sad when I finish the last book. Such a charming, enthralling, sweet, thrilling, historical mystery series! I love it! "

" It's Maisie Dobbs....you can never go wrong with a Dobbs mystery. "

" This is the best one yet. Couldn't put it down- and for once in my life I didn't have to because I'm RETIRED. "

" Another historical mystery series...female protagonist, Masie Dobbs, investigates crimes etc. in the early 1930's so there is a lot of reference to WWI and related issues. "

" I love this series of mystery books. I read all of them in a year. "

" Maisie continues to assist people in the aftermath of WWI, looking for lost loved ones, and finding her way through her own healing process. She's beginning to blossom as a woman in her own right. "

" I really enjoyed this book and I think it's my favorite one so far. I liked how Maisie's character reacted to and grew from the different challenges she faced. I also liked getting to see a bit more about her mentor Maurice and her friend Priscilla. "

" Thoroughly enjoyable mystery. Looking forward to reading the others. "

" This series is my current book candy. "

" This book continues to offer what makes Maisie Dobbs fun to read. I love how the author balances history with mystery and Maisie's personal journey. "

" Wasn't enjoying book #2 so skipped ahead to this Maisie Dobbs #3 choice and loved it. The sadness of WWI stories comes through again as Maisie works to track down an MIA aviator in France with unforseen implications for her BFF Pris. This one will tug at your tear ducts. "

" And another. I'm going to the library soon for the next one... "

" This is the third book in the series...and it keeps getting better! "

" read this in an afternoon--Maisie just gets better "

" I really liked this one. The plot was very interesting and I liked how so many cases were intertwined through the book and how we find out more about Maisie herself. Really enjoying this series...now I just have to wait for number four to come back to my library! "

" I have quite gotten into these books. A bit of mystery along with culture and time period of post WWI England. "

" I wish I could have sat down and read without interruption as, at times, it felt as though there were too many issues going on at once, (though this mirrored Maisie's state of mind). Once again, the author has created a very interesting historical read about the post-WWI time period in England. "

" This series of mysteries is excellent I've enjoyed the historical backdrop research that went into WW1 and the characters are engaging. "

" This is a well rsearched well told tale taking Maisie along the trail of men lost to the war and brings Priscilla from the first book back. While I am not fond of the new age feel to some aspects I do know spiritualism and their debunking was a major activity since Victorian times. "

" Maybe even a 4.5. My favorite so far. Interesting character and plot development. "

" I guess I like Maisie Dobbs. This is my 4th! Not my favorite of the series, but still a great read. "

" I love this series, and this installment was no exception. Looking forward to the next one. "

" OK, I needed to procrastinate--plus a reward for having and executing an excellent lesson plan today. "

" Read by the author. "

" Another wonderful addition to the "Maisie Dobbs" series. "

" The third in a series of wonderful mysteries starring Maisie Dobbs, girl detective. "

" I'm totally involved in Maisie's life and am looking forward to the next book. Pardonable Lies has a uniquely unexpected plot---I loved the twists and turns. "

" I love this series.... Strong heroine, mysteries, London, set between WWI and WWII. Just so much up my alley. "

" This series gets better and better. "

" This is the best one yet. Couldn't put it down- and for once in my life I didn't have to because I'm RETIRED. "

" I love Maisie Dobbs! She's Nancy Drew all grown up. Number three in this series has been the best one yet. The story is well written with great details from WWI through 1930. "

" Terrific story in the tradition of Agatha Christie. Great fun and I look forward to more. "

" Good plot, although not as good as some of the other Maisie Dobbs novels. One plot line was particular contrived, involving her mentor, Maurice. "

" Another good Maisie Dobbs mystery that sheds more light on World War I and secret missions. For a longer review, see readingwithdebra.blogspot.com. "

" I loved the historical details, the characters and the depths the author was willing to mine. But I felt like the writing was a bit stiff and needed some editing. I'd read reviews comparing her to Dorothy Sayers, and while her insights into the human psyche are similar, her writing isn't. "

" This series has such depth and layers to each story. Maisie Dobbs is a wonderful character in this series and I've so enjoyed each book so far. "
