Excellent, really enjoyed it, although need to read it closely due to tangled and interweaving plot lines. Just about managed though, in spite of more of less taking a break of one week during golf week with JEJ when was mostly too tired to concentrate or too busy playing backgammon, cards, monopoly. Has a whole Appendix on how one particular code works but no need to read that. Phew!
