Vivacious debutante Osla has the dashing Prince Philip of Greece sending her roses – but she burns to prove herself as more than a society girl, working to translate decoded enemy secrets.

Yet now they must race against the clock to crack one final code together, before it’s too late, for them and for their country. If you loved The Crown, don’t miss this riveting historical novel!

Meget velskrevet. Den engelske oplæser er fantastisk. Historien er fantastisk. Det er ikke tit jeg giver topkarakterer, men denne bog er bestemt værd at læse. Måske endda mere end én gang.

Spændende fortælling. Fantastisk oplæser. Medrivende følelser. Sød romantik. Der er dog nogle huller ift at forstå motiver for handlinger. Som om forfatteren har glemt at forklare eller ikke vurderet det som væsentlig detalje.
