About this listen

A historical mystery about a girl who risks everything to track down a vicious serial killer, for fans of The Enigma Game and Last Night at the Telegraph Club.

Virginia, 1943: World War II is raging in Europe and on the Pacific front when Kit Sutherland is recruited to help the war effort as a codebreaker at Arlington Hall, a former girls’ college now serving as the site of a secret US Signal Intelligence facility. But Kit is soon involved in another kind of fight: government girls are being brutally murdered in Washington DC, and when Kit stumbles onto a bloody homicide scene, she is drawn into the hunt for the killer.

To find the man responsible for the gruesome murders and bring him to justice, Kit joins forces with other female codebreakers at Arlington Hall—gossip queen Dottie Crockford, sharp-tongued intelligence maven Moya Kershaw, and cleverly resourceful Violet DuLac from the segregated codebreaking unit. But as the girls begin to work together and develop friendships—and romance—that they never expected, two things begin to come clear: the murderer they’re hunting is closing in on them…and Kit is hiding a dangerous secret.

A good book, but not one I’d read again

I enjoyed the story line and the characters, but it was very vanilla. Nothing that made me really drawn to the book.

Great historical fiction mystery

This is not a romance novel nor is is marketed as such, so reviews complaining about that should be ignored and reviewers dismissed as borderline misogynistic at best. This book is stellar, yes there are triggers, but nothing outside of realistic and probable for the era. Narrator is on point, and I blasted through this in a weekend

Really liked the premise, hated the agenda

Narration great, plot excellent, but in a 1940's, WW2 story I expected a gal meets guy type romance.
The gal meets gal romance ruined it for me.
