A SUNLIT WEAPON Maisie Dobbs, Book 17

Narrator Orlagh Cassidy uses her talent with accents and voices to draw listeners into the world of the indomitable Maisie Dobbs. In addition to masterfully delivering the diverse personalities of the returning characters, including Maisie's American husband, Mark, Cassidy provides a convincing voice for visiting American First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Winspear imparts insights on the courageous women pilots who served in WWII and the ways that American racism impacted Black soldiers stationed in the UK. Winspear, partnered with Cassidy, dramatically conveys the emotional impact of war on the soldiers and their families. The magic in this series is how the author's words and the narrator's voices together create an engrossing listening experience that combines historical facts, psychology, mystery, romance, and suspense.
