Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Saskia Maarleveld’s narration is the heart and soul of this audiobook. Her portrayal of the three main characters—Milly, Beth, and Floss—is so authentic that it feels like you’re sharing their personal struggles alongside them. The pacing is impeccable; the early parts are slow and methodical as the codebreakers learn to crack the Enigma machine, while later chapters ramp up with heart-pounding suspense as they uncover a spy within their midst. However, some scenes could benefit from slightly tighter editing, particularly during moments of rapid expository dialogue that occasionally drag on. Despite this minor critique, The Rose Code is an engrossing listen, perfect for fans of historical fiction and World War II narratives.
