A little too easy. I'd also like to know how someone, or who, managed to get to Maisie's brake lines. There's a mention of Conan Doyle dying a few months ago. I had no idea he had lived that long into the twentieth century!! The Story It's three different cases that Maisie obsesses over: Avril's pimp's murder; proving Captain Ralph Lawton's death; and, a favor to Priscilla to verify her brother's death. Maisie has been doing well in her business and it's just when one is doing well, that the body, the mind, let down their guard, forcing one to deal with emotional issues of the past.

It doesn't help that friends have been keeping secrets. Nor does it help when enemies rise up, seeking revenge. The Characters Maisie Dobbs is doing well with her detective agency. One in which she incorporates the meditative benefits of yoga and the psychology taught her by Maurice Blanche. She's still living in the Comptons' Belgravia mansion and still driving her little red MG. Andrew Dene is the orthopedist at the hospital in Hastings whom Maisie is seeing. He's serious about her, but also smart enough not to push and to give her lots of leeway.

She and her husband, Lord Julian , spend most of their time on their estate in Kent. Their son, James Compton , is overseeing family business in Toronto.

George is the family chauffeur; Eric is the London footman who cares for the cars when George is in the country; Sandra is the most senior below-stairs employee with Carter , the butler, down at Chelstone; and, Teresa is the servant who was poisoned. Billy Beale is Maisie's assistant. He's married to Doreen and they have their sons. Maurice Blanche is the man who took her under his wing at the behest of Lady Rowena.

Basil Khan is the Ceylonese wise man who taught her all about meditation and yoga. Priscilla Evernden , now Partridge, was and is Maisie's best friend from college. She went off the deep end into a bottle of alcohol with all her losses just after the war, but then she met Douglas Partridge , a famous author and poet whom she married. Her boys sound so lively. Her parents died of flu and her brothers all died in the war. But Pris has no idea where her brother, Captain Peter Evernden 's body was buried or if he is missing in action.

She does know where Patrick and Philip are buried. How horrible war is. Losing one's entire family like this Detective Inspector Richard Stratton hasn't quite given up asking Maisie out. Detective Sergeant Caldwell would prefer to shoot her. Avril Jarvis is a thirteen-year-old girl accused of murdering her "uncle".

He's made his wife a deathbed promise to prove one way or another that their only surviving son is dead or alive. Brayley is Lawton's fiercely loyal manservant. Captain Ralph Lawton 's plane crashed in France and it burned to ashes. But there's more to it than that.

Jeremy Hazelton is an MP and a childhood friend of Ralph's. He came back from the war in a wheelchair and is ably supported by his wife, Charlaine. He does seem to be a politician with a heart. Even if he does cheat. Browning , Miss Darby , and Miss Hartnell are all psychics pandering to those who are grieving.

It's only with Madeleine Hartnell that Maisie feels a chill down her spine. Suzanne was Madame's daughter who was executed by the Germans. Patrice was their crippled gardener. Daniel Roberts is an excellent mechanic. Brian Huntley is an Englishman involved in the secret service. Ted Tavistock , an Australian, and his French wife Josette run a pension near Bailleul where Maisie was stationed during the war.

The Cover The cover is in Art Deco style with Maisie in a dark blue cloche and coat, perched at the rail of a ship, its yellow funnel highlighted against the subdued, yet brilliant blue sky. The title refers to those Pardonable Lies told us by friends who believe they have good reason to withhold the truth. View all 3 comments.

Feb 14, Hannah rated it liked it Shelves: While I liked this offering, I felt it was the weakest in the series so far. Maisie is beginning to grate. She's very unlikable IMO and has these strange new-agey powers that just don't mesh with the 's background. That being said, I s 3 in the Maisie Dobbs mystery series, and this outing finds Maisie returning to Post-WWI France in a 2-fold mission to determine for a client that his son is, in fact, truely dead, and to help her friend to find out more about her brother's wartime activities.

That being said, I still enjoyed this book, and will continue reading the series, but I wish I liked the main character: Feb 26, Marti rated it really liked it Shelves: I believe I am witnessing that development of art and skill in Jacqueline Winspear. With each book in the Maisie Dobbs series, she is just better. I really liked that this book was in three sections, with the first section set in England, the second in France, and the last back in England. As in the previous books, the lingering ill effects of WWI loom large within the plot.

Jacqueline — Volume 3

Issues of class remain a major element as well but this book also explores the difficulties of a gay man, the son of a knight, and his difficulties. There is also a bit of intrigue since of course England had utilized spies and there was a French resistance movement during the Occupation. The book is in many ways an essay of the moral dilemma surrounding truthfulness, hence the title.

It essentially asks the question of when is it more honorable to withhold the absolute truth.

Quick Overview

Overall, I have found this book very satisfying and would definitely recommend it to a friend. Now, I'm off to start her new book, Messenger of Truth. Good Reading to all! Dec 14, Lynn Pribus rated it really liked it. This is the third in the series and they get better as they go. While I found the first too heavy on backstory,this one moves along At the end of the audio-book, there was a ten minute interview with the author who said she had always done non-fiction.

She was stuck in a traffic jam in London when Maisie walked up out of the underground and appeared to Winspear almost fully realized. There were scenes that came to her while she was writing the first book, that she knew belong in the second or th This is the third in the series and they get better as they go.

There were scenes that came to her while she was writing the first book, that she knew belong in the second or third. This one takes place in -- so it is considerably after the Great War. Nonetheless, two of her three cases involve that war's aftermath and she must travel to old battlefields. The author, whose grandfather was seriously injured in the Battle of the Somme, also travels to those battlefields.

I found the final scene, on the anniversary of Armistice Day, to be exceptionally moving. Some reviewers complain that she spends too much time on the character's attire, Maisie's MG, buildings and furnishing, but in the interview she commented that she uses those detail to "anchor" the scenes in time. Oct 02, Saleh MoonWalker rated it really liked it Shelves: Pardonable Lies Maisie Dobbs, 3 - Nevisande: My fifth Masie Dobbs novel and the best so far containing some fantastic and intricate plotting as Masie investigates two cases at the same time, with red herrings, secrets and intrigue.

This novel in the series becomes very personal to Masie as she returns to France where she was stationed as a nurse and the scene in the graveyard is especially emotive. I seem to never tire of reading about the fictional experiences of the major wars as a way of gaining insight into individual experiences, as I believe we should never forget those same, very real individuals, who lived through that time.

Dec 11, Nancy rated it really liked it Shelves: I've now read seven of Winspear's Maisie Dobbs novels and, although I enjoyed all of them, this was one of the most satisfying. Set in post WW1 Britain, Maisie was a battlefront nurse, injured during the war. The series takes us through her maturation and professional development as a psychologist and investigator. The strength of the series is the author's gift for recreating time and place. It doesn't take much imagination to stroll through post-war London and feel the pain of the families and I've now read seven of Winspear's Maisie Dobbs novels and, although I enjoyed all of them, this was one of the most satisfying.

It doesn't take much imagination to stroll through post-war London and feel the pain of the families and the country that suffered so much in The Great War. This book, the third in the series, really showcased Maisie's intelligence, sensitivity and rather inordinate sense of duty.

SAWAN JACQUELINE VOLUME 3 - 3002 by Dhaarmi Fashion

She is one of those characters who is a bit too good to be true, but I know that as a reader I am totally swept into her universe. Although they can be a little bit didactic at times each book tends to include a social issue--this one was homosexuality , this series would be a wonderful way to introduce a young person into the study of history. The conflict in Europe; the development of the secret service; the lingering psychological damage on veterans; and a host of other topics are introduced seamlessly within these mystery stories.

Sep 13, Denise rated it it was amazing Shelves: I am already a huge fan of the Maise Dobbs' series, but this 3rd book was absolutely perfect. The narrator was excellent and pleasing to listen to throughout. This book has so many mysteries with links to each other that hte reader is "holding on for dear life" until the conclusion.

I wasn't able to guess what would happen next - so had to keep listening! I love the depth of Maisie's character. She is never silly or neglectful with her work or her personal life. Her past experiences of loss make I am already a huge fan of the Maise Dobbs' series, but this 3rd book was absolutely perfect.

Her past experiences of loss make her a character whom most readers will relate to at least on some levels. In this 3rd book, Maisie must face her past nightmares from the war by traveling back to France as part of her investigations. This is a heart-wrenching trip for her, but she presses on towards truth. She is also being pursued by person or persons who want to see her dead. Be prepared readers for an emotional conclusion to this book. I cried unashamedly as the story ended. Maybe you will too! Brilliant writing by Jacqueline Winspear. I immediatley purchased the 4th audio book and am going to being listening now!

Feb 21, Alyson rated it it was ok Shelves: I picked this up on a whim because I thought I'd give Maisie Dobbs one more chance I was really annoyed with the last book, but I really love historical mysteries and want to love this series. On the plus side, Maisie herself was a LOT less irritating and condescending this time around in other words, I didn't want to punch her every five pages, like last time.

Unfortunately, the new-age, woo bullshit is just utterly pervasive in this one, with Maurice babbling on philosophically to distract I picked this up on a whim because I thought I'd give Maisie Dobbs one more chance I was really annoyed with the last book, but I really love historical mysteries and want to love this series. Unfortunately, the new-age, woo bullshit is just utterly pervasive in this one, with Maurice babbling on philosophically to distraction, and so I have to give up on this series. Jul 19, Barbara rated it liked it Recommended to Barbara by: I have long intended to read this series, because it was recommended by a respected GR Friend.

I was going to start with 1; but this book jumped out at me from the shelf in the library. How could I deny it a chance? I hope that I don't regret starting at 3! I cannot say much about this novel because it did not move me. As most of my friends know, I do enjoy mysteries, but I have long intended to read this series, because it was recommended by a respected GR Friend.

As most of my friends know, I do enjoy mysteries, but I would not classify this as a more compelling read. One of my problems was that I did not gain much appreciation for Masie. She was too cool, emotionless and restrained. It would have been nice to see her become more invigorated by some of the events which surrounded her. I also felt that her sense of intuition was barely credible. This would include the final solution of one of the criminal activities in the story. Winspear did impart a good sense of the period and the atmosphere rather well. Many times I lost the thread of the tale when she introduced another one of the many characters.

It was a fairly pleasant interlude reading Winspear's opus, but I wonder if I would feel differently if I returned to Episode 1? Investigating the impact of the nurture group contributed to the school improvement plan. For example, further pupil support was also built in for those leaving the nurture group to consolidate the development they had made. This allowed her to capture not only changes in SEBD needs but also more subjective improvements following the nurture group intervention. Finally, she reports that conducting the research also had an impact on the whole school.

The pastoral system became more attuned to the needs of the pupils and the nurture principles were embedded in the school ethos. The governors were also made aware of the benefits of the nurture group. Conclusion Overall, the action research completed by Jacqueline Perkins allowed her to document the impact of the nurture group, both identifying positive outcomes as well as areas requiring further improvement.

NGN hopes that more and more practitioners will conduct small-scale research projects to evaluate their practice, document the impact of their work and feedback the information to the whole school.
