The Killing Code
by Ellie Marney
In 1943 Virginia, women are working on the opposite spectrum of the Enigma machine. They are breaking codes. When a group of friends stumbles upon a murder, it draws a 4th into their group. Kit, Dottie, Moya, and Violet want justice for their friends. They want to find out who is killing women because the police aren’t taking this seriously. But they have to work, so their investigation will have to be on the side. Marney skillfully traverses both veins of storyline in The Killing Code.
My only wish is that the cover got a revamp. Of course, that is something the publisher chooses and not the author. But I don’t feel it works well with the story. And really, this is such a small thing compared to how enjoyable the book is.
Kit is keeping secrets, and she cannot let those secrets slip out. But those secrets keep her on edge and wary of being found out. Whether she was working out codes, or details in the murders, she was thorough, and I enjoyed watching her train of thought. I’m a sucker for World War based Historical Fiction, and this story blends romance and mystery, so it’s a fun combination. It was refreshing to read about the friendships and how supportive the girls were of each other. I liked how this worked out and feel readers will really enjoy this one. Thank you, Little Brown Books, for sending this along.
