4 stars. This was so interesting. I’m not familiar with how codebreaking works at all so I found that aspect of this book so fascinating. The writing was really good and there is a great cast of characters. The mystery was intriguing and kept me hooked. I will say though that this was really slow to get into to the point I was scared that I was going to not like this book. The plot picks up at around 20% or so and then it was smooth sailings from then on. A group of intelligent girls codebreaking to solve the case of a serial killer. Add in an adorable romance between two of the girls and I am happy. Seriously couldn’t ask for more. This was a great read and I would definitely recommend it.
