This weekly meme was started by @Lauren’s Page Turners. It is now being hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog. To participate, choose a random book from your GoodReads TBR and show it off. Which sounds easy enough until you have to decide how to choose that book! I think I will use a different way each week, like picking a color or number of pages. I will let you know each week how I chose the book and then something interesting about it, like how it ended up on the list or why I want to read it. Got it? Okay let’s get started.
I am continuing with the alphabet, because why not? It kind of takes the thinking out of this whole choosing part for this weekly post. Although, some letters there are a lot to choose from. But not ‘K’! I think I only have three books that start with that letter, so it made choosing pretty easy.
The Killing Code by Ellie Marney
Publication Date: September 2022
Summary from Goodreads:
Virginia, 1943: World War II is raging in Europe and on the Pacific front when Kit Sutherland is recruited to help the war effort as a codebreaker at Arlington Hall, a former girls’ college now serving as the site of a secret US Signals Intelligence facility in Virginia. But Kit is soon involved in another kind of fight: Government girls are being brutally murdered in Washington DC, and when Kit stumbles onto a bloody homicide scene, she is drawn into the hunt for the killer.
To find the man responsible for the gruesome murders and bring him to justice, Kit joins forces with other female codebreakers at Arlington Hall—gossip queen Dottie Crockford, sharp-tongued intelligence maven Moya Kershaw, and cleverly resourceful Violet DuLac from the segregated codebreaking unit. But as the girls begin to work together and develop friendships—and romance—that they never expected, two things begin to come clear: the murderer they’re hunting is closing in on them…and Kit is hiding a dangerous secret.
I usually like a good historical mystery and after looking at a few reviews I think I will enjoy this one. I did look for it at the library on my last trip and even though the catalog said it was in, I couldn’t find it on the shelf. Hopefully it is only temporarily missing.
Have any of you read this one or have it on your TBR? Let me know what you think!
Until next time….
