A Dangerous Place by Jacqueline Winspear
4.0
When the previous book ended Maisie had closed her office in London and was headed to India for some soul searching. Three years later a lot has happened in her life. Tragically she’s in the same position if not worse. She’s headed home to England but gets off the ship in Gibralter. She’s in no hurry to return home but is trying to accommodate her family who is anxious for her return. She needs to pause and perhaps rethink her homecoming.
She literally trips over a body in the dark while walking. She decides to use her investigative skills as a distraction from returning home. She quickly realizes the British Secret Service is involved and is monitoring her activities. The Spanish Civil War is underway. Lots of gun running and espionage in the area as well as refugees. Her activities result in more admonitions from men she worked with in London-McFarlane. They want to protect her or manipulate her. She’s not having it as she has the last word and secretly steals away to the war to resume her old nursing career with the Republicans near Madrid.
