Deadly Cypher

Deadly Series, Book 7

By: Kate Parker

Narrated by: Henrietta Meire

Could a murder at Bletchley Park cost Britain the war?

November, 1939. The British government has assembled a small group of intellectuals at an estate north of London as part of a top-secret codebreaking effort. Everything about it is clandestine. The facility is ringed with a veil of silence until one of the young female linguists is murdered.

Britain's counterintelligence spymaster tasks Olivia Redmond with finding the killer and the motive. Olivia is sent in alone, without clues or suspects.

Did the murder victim uncover a mole? Could Britain's program to break German enigma cyphers be compromised?

If Olivia fails, it could mean the destruction of Britain.

Mystery Maven

Good story, excellent narration but the plot was just a little drawn out. The setting was done well, characters interesting but the elongation of story to solution wasn’t necessary. Can recommend but with that caveat.

Borrowed from the pages of history!

This book borrowed from the history of the SOE (Britain’s CIA during WWII)- and in a good way!

There was an allied spy who passed messages the same way. She was an old lady and no one ever suspected her pastime to be espionage.

I really enjoyed the book and highly recommend it. I would also suggest looking at some of the excellent histories from the period - especially the brave and daring women.
