Summary
At Bletchley Park, Tom Jericho, a brilliant young codebreaker, is facing a double nightmare. The Germans have unaccountably changed their U-boat Enigma code, threatening a massive Allied defeat.
As suspicion grows that there may be a spy inside Bletchley, and Jericho is suspected, his girlfriend, the beautiful and mysterious Claire Romilly, suddenly disappears. With the help of Claire's best friend, Hester, Jericho sets out to find Claire, clear his name and unmask the spy. The answers will change his life forever.
Steeped in the atmosphere of wartime England, based around an actual event, Enigma is a thriller of genius: a compelling mystery of codes and codebreaking, love and betrayal set inside the birthplace of the secret state.

Probably the best audiobook I’ve listened to
I’ve listened to this audiobook more than any other, probably 10 times and it still hooks me in. Detail, character, world, plot, narration are faultless. Recommended.

Excellent listen.
Gripping WW2 novel, albeit an abridged version of Enigma, with engaging characters and excellent narration.

A great story
A really good angle on the Bletchley Park theme. I enjoyed the background detail and it is right up there with Robert Harris’s original ideas. The plot did become a bit hard to follow towards the end and needed a lot of loose ends tying up rather rapidly. But still good fun

Between Mediocre & Good
Occcasionally dull with a lot of statistics and all the research dropped in leading to a thrilling denouement as all the puzzle pieces are put together. Not his best but sufficient to hold the attention. How the Brits survived the grey meat and weak tea described remains an enigma.

Factual inconsistencies
As a reader fascinated by the Bletchley Park events during the Second World War I was interested to read a fictional mystery based on that place at that time. I'm pretty familiar with the facts surrounding those events so it was a considerable disappointment that this story is so riddled with factual inaccuracies. The characters are plausible enough, but all involved, including the police, seem utterly to ignore the 'need to know ' mantra which is one of the most fascinating aspects of that period of history. A top secret establishment which fails at every turn to be anything but secret is just not plausible to me. The story is well read and it moves on at a good pace, it just fails to suspend disbelief for me.

Disappointed with the abridged version.
Couldn't truely follow the story, as it was jumping around. Then I noticed it was the abridged version.
Other than it being hard to follow, the story was captivating, and the narrator OK.
