I enjoy reading any novel about W.W. II. I am so entrenched in that time period and am amazed at the tenacity and resourcefulness of those involved in combat and behind the scenes. That being said, ¬The Codebreaker Girls¬ by Ellie Curzon is a novel highlighting the background work of the codebreakers who diligently operated behind the scenes to try to crack the Enigma code of the Germans and Magento code of the Japanese.

From what I have researched, Cottisbourne Park as portrayed in the novel is based on Bletchley Park an English country house and estate in Bletchley, Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire, the real codebreakers headquarters that became the main center of Allied codebreaking during the Second World War.

In this novel, Rosie Sinclair loves her work as a codebreaker and is good at what she does. She is given a mission to drive Major-General Kingsley-Flynn to Cottisbourne as he is to take control of the center.

He and Rosie have determined that a German spy is working at the center. They must find that person before he jeopardized their clandestine work. Her fellow codebreakers may or may not be complicit in this spying, so the Major and Rosie must keep what they know just between themselves until they can find the spy.

I love the way Ms. Cruzon writes and her descriptions of the countryside and the characters give me a true mental picture of her novel. I loved the book.

This book was brilliant, I couldn't put it down! I read the whole thing in one sitting.

It's full of action and drama while having the sweetest romance blossoming within it. The characters were wonderful and the story was great. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

What a fantastic read. This book pulled me in from the get go, so naturally was finished in one sitting.
Loved the insight to more happenings in the battle of ww2. Was fast paced and was filled with mystery til the end. Will be reading more of this author
Highly recommended

I really enjoyed this story. They characters are interesting and believable, the setting somewhere we now know was true and the hunt for Prospero is engaging and full of drama. Will keep readers hooked and wanting to know more.

I have started to become more interested in historical fiction recently and aim to read at least one of its genre a month. The Codebreaker Girls is one of the best of its genre, and I can definitely see myself reading more from this author. Recommend!
