Three very different women are recruited to the mysterious Bletchley Park, where the best minds in Britain train to break German military codes.
Vivacious debutante Osla has the dashing Prince Philip of Greece sending her roses – but she burns to prove herself as more than a society girl, working to translate decoded enemy secrets.

Yet now they must race against the clock to crack one final code together, before it’s too late, for them and for their country. If you loved The Crown, don’t miss this riveting historical novel!

Ännu en fullpoängare av Kate Quinn, om än inte lika vass som Jägarinnan. Mycket spännande om kodknäckande, spioneri och kvinnlig frigörelse under och efter andra världskriget.

Bra uppläsare, men aningen lång och den blev inte spännande förrän sista två timmarna

Väldigt fängslande. Sträcklyssnade. Gillade verkligen den engelska uppläsaren.
