Summary
It's 1932 and the remains of missing cartographer Michael Clifton are found in a former battlefield in France. When it's clear he was murdered, his wealthy parents hire Maisie to find the woman who wrote a series of love letters discovered among Michael's belongings. The lover identifies herself only as "The English Nurse".
While tracking down the elusive woman in an investigation that ventures from London's most exclusive drawing rooms to its most downtrodden neighbourhoods, Maisie must also wrestle with memories of serving as a nurse herself in the Great War - memories that she has tried so hard to obliterate.

Excellent as usual
Superbly narrated by Julie Teal. I felt like it was a full day cast of actors!!
Robust plot, engaging characters, evocative sense of place, what a writer.
Highly recommend this book, important developments in the storyline of Masie Dobbs series.

Map of Hope
Excellent tale, perfectly narrated. Several years ago I encountered books 1 - 6 of this series on disks at the local library, and had let my interest lapse as no book 7 was available then. I was most happy to find book 7 now on Audible and take up the series again. It was a joy to indulge in these characters again and to pick up the life of Maisie Dobbs.
Having lived at Brompton for several years as a child, my father being an officer at The Royal School of Military Engineering, I could fully picture the places and barracks mentioned there and in Chatham.
I enjoyed the theme of maps; the hopes and dreams of discoveries on Michael's land. How Michael drew maps. How others killed to obtain these maps and of how Maisie and Billy used a map to track their leads and progress in the case. Finally how the Dowerhouse estate, a place on a map, will change the contours of Maisie's future.
The last hour of the book I spent in tears as so many sad threads were tied up.
RECOMMENDED

Superb series of books
This is one of the best Maisie Dobbs books in the series, the whole ‘who done it’ was expertly pulled together with a twist towards the end that I really didn’t see coming though I thought I had it figured out. You have to be on your toes to pick out and not miss the pertinent clues. All the while the underlying story of Maisie relationships with , Maurice Blanche, Pricilla Partridge and her family, lord & Lady Compton, Vicount James, Frankie Dobbs, Billie Beale and his family all interwoven to create compelling story that moves from one book to the next. All beautifully and superbly narrated by Julie Teal who does I believe a fantastic job of the different voices particularly the male ones which are not easy to do.
I’ve listened to all of the MD books now (18?) though not quite in sequence as I’ve ended with this one and have to say I’m devastated that there will no more until the final one is released next June. I’m at a loss as to know what to replace Maisie Dobbs with, it will be a hard act to follow.
Jacqueline - any chance of writing another 18 books and maybe developing Anna to take over from Maisie???
