“A superb combination of mystery, thriller, and psychological study with an emphasis on prejudice and hatred.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“In A Sunlit Weapon, Maisie’s pluck, intelligence and moral fortitude are on full display.” — Washington Post

“Winspear weaves the many components of this mystery together skillfully to create another riveting entry in this long-standing series.” — Library Journal

“Over 16 novels spanning three decades, Winspear’s Maisie Dobbs has lived. In real life, her quiet bravery, compassion and dogged pursuit of the truth would have made her one of the Greatest Generation, a lesson in survival under the grimmest circumstances. The lessons are hard-won in The Consequences of Fear, set in the fall of 1941 but no less relevant today…. Fans and newcomers to the series will root for Dobbs and the other well-drawn characters.” — Los Angeles Times on The Consequences of Fear

“Outstanding…. Maisie and her loving family of supporting characters continue to evolve and grow in ways sure to win readers’ hearts. Winspear is writing at the top of her game.” — Publishers Weekly, starred reviewon The Consequences of Fear

“Fast-paced…Winspear never sugarcoats the horrors of war, and alongside the camaraderie shown by these characters and the Londoners surrounding them deliver terrible truths that must be endured….also recommend it as a less- weighty read-alike for Anthony Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See.” — Booklist, starred reviewon The Consequences of Fear

"A fast-paced tale of mystery and spycraft whose exploration of inner doubts and fears makes it much more." — Kirkus on The Consequences of Fear

“Series fans will find the characters’ personal development gratifying.” — Publishers Weekly

“’Sunlit’ sheds light on the United States' slow entry into the war, as well as the British response to that, while taking Maisie in bold new directions, personally and professionally.” — Star Tribune

“There’s a lot going on in the seventeenth Maisie Dobbs mystery starring the intrepid investigator… Winspear manages the multifarious narratives with aplomb.” — Booklist

“No one writes historical mysteries quite like Jacqueline Winspear, and her latest Maisie Dobbs novel should be a fitting continuation of the series, this one featuring a drop-in from none other than Eleanor Roosevelt (and we all know how good Winspear is at writing strong women with wit and verve).” — CrimeReads

“With so many strands … it is hard to anticipate a satisfying conclusion. But Winspear pulls it off brilliantly.” — Daily Mail, UK

“Profoundly humane and unflinchingly honest, A Sunlit Weapon marks another stellar installment in Winspear’s luminous body of work.” — The Free Lance Star
