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

Enigma totally gripped me

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

Extraordinarily good... undoubtedly the best thriller of the year, and perhaps of several years to come

I finished the book regretful it had ended, and full of wonder at this extraordinary world, people and achievements it evoked

Blends carefully researched fact with brilliantly realised fiction... a compulsive page turner until its surprising secrets are finally decrypted

A first class plot... the characters steadily evolve and deepen. Out of wartime Cambridge and Bletchley lurches the computer age

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.
