Journal Entry 1 by Auglaise from -- Somewhere in London đ€·ââïž , Greater London United Kingdom on Friday, August 20, 2004
From the back:
"March 1943, the war hangs in the balance, and at Bletchley Park a brilliant young codebreaker is facing a double nightmare. The Germans have unaccountably changed their U-boat Enigma code, threatening a massive Allied defeat. And as suspicion grows that there may be a spy inside Bletchley, Jericho's girlfriend, the beautiful and mysterious Claire Romilly, suddenly disappears."
I'm about halfway through this one, and it's a very enjoyable read. I wasn't expecting much from the cover and back blurb, but it's really quite interesting! I find code breaking facinating, and although it's more about the mystery of searching for the spy it's also about breaking the codes to find out where the U-boats are. I'd definately recommend it!

I picked this up today at the Cardiff Meet from Auglaise ;o)
I read the release alert *just* before I left the house (for the meet), so had made a mental note to try and grab it ;o).
Thanks Auglaise ;o)

I'm setting the status to RESERVE as I'll be posting it off to Vespa shortly(ish)as a loan.
Posted today to Vespa.
I'm looking forward to reading this one as my great aunt worked at Bletchley during the war

Whoops just realised that I never returned this to Spike .....many millions of apologies to him. But he said it can travel a bit more before returning home, so it is off to 4orty7even first.

Journal Entry 9 by 4orty7even at Kingston upon Thames, Surrey United Kingdom on Saturday, November 12, 2011
Very enjoyable, like others of his I've read.
And it only took me 6 years to get round to reading it!
Spike - are you wanting this back or can I release it?
