'Agent Zigzag' by Ben McIntyre
This was Alyson's choice for our July Read. A great choice of book which sparked off a visit to Bletchley Park code-breaking centre in Milton Keynes and a read of the sequel 'Operation Mincemeat'.

We chatted about the book over lunch (menu brought out by Clare and Don Juan!!) and I think we agreed Eddie Chapman was a bit of a rogue and very fickle. Mind you, that's what you need to be if you're a double agent. Sam, Clare and Theresa finished the book and Helen and I are half way through but vow to finish it.
It was very factually written and quotes taken from the reports broke the flow of the narration but I found it very interesting. I shall be visiting Bletchley Park with the children over the summer and anyone who wishes to join us is very welcome. I hope to also make a date for a Wednesday in September when Book Group can go as a day trip. If we can all fit in Penny, I'll drive us up there (but will stay off the champagne!!)
