I hope this isn't a duplicate, but is there any way to get the original audio reader back? She was so perfect, just the way I imagined Maisie to sound. I'm not sure what happened, but I wanted to let you know that she did your books justice. Thank you for a wonderful character!

The choice of who reads the books is not in my court - it's decided by the publisher. I think the same person has been reading the books right from the start - I don't listen to them, so I don't really know. But the audio books have won quite a few awards, which is really lovely.

I want to thank for Maisie Dobbs, as well. I enjoy reading mysteries series, so what you do fits me very well. However, while many series are extremely formulaic, yours are not. The writing is more literary than a normal mystery series. I always learn so much about the time period and the people when I read one of your books. And, your characters are so human, well-rounded, and real. How do you do this?

I'm a huge Maisie Hobbs fan—I have so much respect for you as the author! When I talk about the books to others, I tell them what attracts me most; what I consider the "spiritual nature" of the books. I mean the way Maisie's cases always have an aspect that teaches her about her own life and how she needs to grow. I never see this mentioned in other reviews. I wonder if you would identify the quality that way, or not?
