About this listen

Brought to you by Puffin.

‘It’s hard to know where to start. There’s so much to say – about the murders, and the codes, and the spy, that I’m getting tangled up in the story already...'

It's December 1941, and almost Christmas, when a bomb falls on Deepdean School for Girls. May and Nuala are whisked away from the chaos and sent to stay with May's big sister, Hazel Wong, who is working at Bletchley Park.

Within seconds, they're thrown straight into their most dangerous case yet. A codebreaker has been shot in what appears to be a tragic accident - until a suspicious and top-secret message is discovered in his pocket. Was he a spy, working for the other side? Was the message planted on him? Most importantly - was this murder?

Worst of all, Daisy's big brother, Bertie Wells, is being blamed. It’s up to May, Nuala and their friend Eric to prove Bertie's innocence and solve the mystery. But Bletchley is a strange and secretive place, full of Britain's most ingenious minds. They'll need to watch, listen, and puzzle out the incredible, unthinkable truth…

I like the diversity in these books, the characters feel very credible. I'd love to return to the characters at the end of the War.

I'm an adult (English teacher) and I've loved all these books!

Fantastic sequel where we learn more about Nuala, May and Eric. It was lovely to see more of the original characters, also. It was nice to have Eric’s POV added. Narrators were all great, a very enjoyable sequel. Looking forward to seeing what happens next!

Amazing story, narrators were amazing!
