Media Reviews
The brilliance of Enigma is that it gives readers the sense of being contemporary with its characters and then leads them on a dark journey of discovery to arrive at another of the Second World War's blackest horror stories, one not fully admitted until half a century later... Altogether top-class stuff. Peter Millar * The Times *
Enigma totally gripped me * Sunday Times *
After the resounding success of his first novel, Fatherland, the question was what would Robert Harris do for an encore? This is his resounding answer * Mail on Sunday *
Extraordinarily good... undoubtedly the best thriller of the year, and perhaps of several years to come * Evening Standard *
I finished the book regretful it had ended, and full of wonder at this extraordinary world, people and achievements it evoked * Observer *
Blends carefully researched fact with brilliantly realised fiction... a compulsive page turner until its surprising secrets are finally decrypted * Daily Mail *
A first class plot... the characters steadily evolve and deepen. Out of wartime Cambridge and Bletchley lurches the computer age * Daily Telegraph *
