A Life of Codes
During the Great War, there was a place in London so secret that even today not everything is known about it. Referred to as Room 40, it was a beehive of activity that contained top code breakers and puzzle masters. They worked around the clock pouring over the enemy’s coded top-secret information in an attempt to decipher the messages. The knowledge they gleamed helped protect their country, along with her military and intelligence agents.
Margot De Wilde, is a beautiful and brilliant, no-nonsense young female who is unaware of most people–because she looks at the world through the filter of numbers. But what really makes her unusual is that she is one of the rare females who works in Room 40. Her work brings her into contact with undercover agent Drake Elton. Unknowingly, she also becomes involved with a dangerous enemy assassin. Margot finds herself in the middle of a plot to kidnap her best friend, kill Drake, and bomb London.
This action story contains secret missions, clandestine meetings, along with a romance that just might turn out to be one-sided. However, there were a couple of places the tale slowed down. I loved that Margot’s strong faith in God was part of the story, and that I learned things about WWI I didn’t know. This is the first installment in The Codebreakers Series. Anyone who enjoys well-written intrigue or romance stories will like this 4-star book.
