The Codebreaker's Secret by Sara Ackerman

 

1943 - We broke the code….we broke the code…well everyone didn’t….Isabel broke the code that the team had been working on for months.

Breaking the code opened a position for Isabel in Hawaii where her brother’s plane was shot down during the attack on Pearl Harbor. 

It was interesting to learn about how they intercepted messages and decoded them during the war.

Isabel couldn’t wait to get there so she could find the places where her brother had been.  She meets his best friend, Matteo Russi.
 
1965 - We meet Lu Freitas who is a journalist that gets no credit and is writing stories about the new Mauna Kea Beach Hotel.  We met Matteo Russi again.

While she is investigating, a friend, Joni Diaz, goes missing.

The tension heats up when a body and a ring are found. 

Is it Joni’s or Gloria’s from 1943.  

Is there a connection between someone at Pearl Harbor in 1943 and today?

THE CODEBREAKER’S secret will appeal to historical fiction fans, mystery fans, and women’s fiction fans because of some romance, but it mostly will keep your interest for the history part.

I never knew about the codebreaker team at the Pearl Harbor site. 4/5

This book was given to me by the publisher via NetGalley for an honest review.
