I though this was one of her best books.

A little dry but it seems historically pretty accurate. A good introduction to the Civil War for young readers

This book was excellent on the first 4 months of Truman's presidency. I learned a lot---very well documented and yet reads like a novel.

I've been interested in Bletchley Park for many years thanks to the PBS Bletchley Circle but also because I have a brain like many of the women in the book: puzzles, codes, formulas, patterns are my jam. It was slow going for the first 2/3 of the book, but the pace really picked up the last third. Very interesting how she weaves history with fiction and how much of the book is true with Prince Phillip.

I didn't get to finish it before Amazon took it back. It was OK. Judging from the reviews, everyone loved it or hated it---maybe if I'd finished it I could have made up my mind.

Pretty good page-turner with several plot twists.

Very interesting mixing murder mystery and Mormon history.
