Journey to Munich, by Jacqueline Winspear. Maisie Dobbs #12. It's 1938, and an elderly man whom the British consider important has been imprisoned in Dachau. The Nazis agree to release him, but only into the care of a family member, and the only family the man has left is a daughter dying of tuberculosis. Maisie is enlisted to pose as the young woman and travel to Munich to free him. There are, naturally, many complications, not the least of which is that she has to resolve her feelings toward someone she hoped never to encounter again.

These are always such a pleasure to read, once the reader accepts that Maisie is going to have strange intuitions every so often that help her realize what she should do. One thing I appreciated was that early in the book, the author mentioned the man I always thought Maisie should have gotten together with, which suggests to me that the author agrees.
