If you read and enjoy it, you might enjoy the British miniseries “The Bletchley Circle.” It’s about four former Bletchley women who team up to solve a string of murders.

I so agree. It kind of makes you wonder why it’s taken so long for us to hear about?

I’d heard about Hedy Lamarr being an inventor, too. Thanks for the rec!

Looking forward to your thoughts on Code Girls and I think after a little breather I’ll be ready to go on The Girls of Atomic City.

I loved Girls of Atomic City, and I’m in the middle of Code Girls right now. This renaissance of books about the hidden role that women played in our biggest historical moments is so great.

We know Hedy Lamarr as the actress, but she was also an inventor. During WWII, she came up with radio-controlled frequency hopping for torpedoes, to make them more accurate.

I knew Liza Mundy while at The Post and I’m glad for her success with the book. I think all of these books sound fascinating.
