| The premise of a story about the women who worked in codebreaking for the USA during the Cold War is an interesting one, and their contribution deserves to be recognised more widely. The book started out well and the author managed to weave her histo ...more | |

“Jane smiled. ‘I’m very proud of you, dear. I hope you know that.’ ‘Thank you, my love.’ He squeezed her hand and chuckled. ‘Although I fear your Miss Marple would probably have solved the crime faster.’ ‘Surely not.”
