I picked up this copy from The Book Thing of Baltimore, Inc. located in downtown Baltimore, Maryland. The Book Thing is a warehouse of free books that has become a local fixture in the community. The premise is simple. You take as many books as you like, and you can donate as many books as you like. It has become a place for us bookcrossers to congregate often.

Here are my thoughts on the book:

I enjoyed this novel, but I do wish I'd read it earlier. Highly recommended to those interested in World War II fiction set in Europe. This novel is based on an actual historical event but is not an accurate portrayal of that event.

Here is an editorial review from Amazon:

A gripping World War II mystery novel with a cryptographic twist, Enigma's hero is Tom Jericho, a brilliant British mathematician working as a member of the team struggling to crack the Nazi Enigma code. Jericho's own struggles include nerve-wracking mental labor, the mysterious disappearance of a former girlfriend, the suspicions of his co-workers within the paranoid high-security project, and the certainty that someone close to him, perhaps the missing girl, is a Nazi spy. The plot is pure fiction but the historical background, Alan Turing's famous wartime computing project that cracked the German U-boat communications code, is real and accurately portrayed. Enigma is convincingly plotted, forcefully written, and filled with well drawn characters; in short, it's everything a good techno mystery should be.

This book is being released to the BookCrossing tables at Birdie's in honor of the late MaryZee. This book was left there on purpose for you to find. Read and enjoy!
