Salem's Cipher, Book 1

De: Jess Lourey

Narrado por: Samara Naeymi

A brilliant code breaker shatters a centuries-old conspiracy and unravels her own family secrets in an addictive and heart-pounding thriller by Edgar Award-nominated author Jess Lourey.

Salem Wiley is a genius cryptanalyst. She’s also a loner who prefers a safe and familiar path. Until her mother disappears in the wake of a brutal murder, leaving behind a cryptic warning of threats to come. Forced out of her safe zone, Salem embarks with her best friend, Bel, on a dangerous quest that reaches back centuries into America’s hidden history.

Drawn into a labyrinth of messages encrypted by Emily Dickinson and hidden in the legendary Beale Cipher, Salem discovers her mother’s double life—and the truth. An ancient and ruthless society is hell-bent on ruling the world, and only a select group of hunted women stands in its way.

Now Salem must follow a cross-country trail of clues in a desperate bid to unravel the conspiracy, which threatens not only the present but the very course of history.

Revised edition: This edition of Salem's Cipher includes editorial revisions.

I love puzzles and mysteries. Great Narrator! I only wish the series was already complete. I hope the next book comes out quickly.

Not worth the time

It’s slow moving. Typically I like this author, but this book did not do it for me. It also has a lot of politics in it. No thank you. We get enough of that in real life. This is a did not finish for me.
