Essentially a young Bletchley Circle set during the war and in America with a sweet sapphic love story. We have a team of 4, including a clever maid masquerading as her employer and a Black codebreaker destined to be a computer at NASA. Important war work and crimes connected in ways only the girls see.
Plenty of catnip for me!

5⭐
In a sea of mediocrity, this book was a stand-out for me. Did you know it was a woman code breaker who, in 1945, became the first American to learn that World War II had officially ended?

This fictional story highlights how these ladies helped to win WWII. As a bonus, there‘s also a possible serial killer to catch and a sweetly romantic, sapphic love story.
