Praise For This Book


"Beautifully structured and well-told with authentic historical detail, interesting relationships, and the mystery of two young women who go missing from the same spot 22 years apart, this is another top historical novel by Ackerman." -Booklist (starred)

"Thoughtful, romantic and ultimately hopeful, The Codebreaker's Secret is a riveting story of intrigue and love in wartime"-Shelf Awareness

"In this enthralling World War II saga, we first meet the brilliant Isabel Cooper and her fellow codebreaker colleagues as they decipher secretes from the Pearl Harbor airwaves... A thrilling, heartfelt read." -Woman's World

"Intense, suspenseful, and filled with mystery, flora, and fauna of Hawaii, the climate, the vernacular, and the total beauty of the location adds great setting. The in-depth knowledge of a codebreaker's duties adds to the intrigue. What is most surprising is the unexpected and consoling ending that brings peace and understanding to 20 years of heartbreak and pain." -New York Journal of Books
