4.75

It was going to be 5 stars until I read the sentence: “The Bentley was speeding past Blackpool now, well south of York…” Blackpool is on the North West coast, almost due west of York. It was one of those little things that then bugged me for the rest of the book.

That aside, it’s a really interesting read and takes you right into the complicated history of Bletchley Park. Full of emotion to balance out the complicated history.

I loved that the 3 main characters were completely different personalities and of very different backgrounds, but all were equally valid and important in their roles at Bletchley Park and in the wider narrative.

HIstorical fiction, England during WW2 with the characters all working at Bletchley Park. This such a great plot with believeable, complex, flawed characters.
I listeded to the audio version from Libro.fm and it was soooooo good!
