The writing of Kathryn Hughes is excellent, and I am now an addict of her books, having read 3 in quick succession. So it was with that all-too-familiar mix of excitement and trepidation that I awaited Toyne’s second novel; excitement because it forms the second part of a planned trilogy, and trepidation that it might not live up to expectation. They are joined by a host of new characters who are equally well-drawn: Cardinal Secretary Clementi who may be in too deep as he engages in shady dealings in an attempt to hide the fact that the Church is broke; the mysterious and creepy Ghost, scouring the desert for ancient relics and selling them on the black market; the massive Dick, a man with a love for words who, for this reader at least, evokes the memory of another giant of literature: Daniel Bunkowski, better known as Chaingang, from the series of novels by Rex Miller that bear the giant’s name. In The Darwin Code by J D Welch, Jess uses a Shakespearean speech to construct a book cipher to communicate with an enemy who may or may not be an ally.

After thirty years working as a secretary and bringing up two children, she finally realised her dream of writing a book. Written for students and practitioners, the individual chapters provide textbook-level introductions to the themes, theories and controversies that connect archaeology to wider society, from the trade in illicit antiquities to the use of digital media in public engagement, and point readers to the most relevant case studies and learning resources to aid their further study. Yes, I'm sure it will break my heart to start but maybe, just maybe, it will put it back together again! As if the modern creepiness isn’t enough, Rowan also has a good, old-fashioned locked door in her bedroom that emits drafts and odd smells through its keyhole.The Fisher King", a two-part episode of Criminal Minds, features a book cipher brought to the Behavioral Analysis Unit by the UNSUB via Agent Hotchner's wife. We spent a bit of time with Sarah as the book opens and I was interested in the story around her parents’ relationship, her own marriage breakup and young Nathan, a homeless boy helping her rummage around the old asylum. On the other hand, a book, if chosen carefully to fit with the spy's cover story, would seem entirely innocuous.

The protagonists of the Matthew Reilly novel The Six Sacred Stones used a book cipher to send confidential messages to each other. Whilst Rachel and Robert are adapting to their new found fame in different ways, they both have the interests of Krasnia and family at heart. Lady Arabella loses her soulmate and in his final moments The Immortal was still apparently unaware of her affections.Whilst exploring the old corridors she discovers a suitcase belonging to a female patient who was admitted fifty years earlier.

The key text was the Harry Potter books, but the messages were sent via a The Lord of the Rings forum to make the key text harder to identify.

A conventional codebook, if discovered by the local authorities, instantly incriminates the holder as a spy and gives the authorities the chance of deciphering the code and sending false messages impersonating the agent. Although I felt there was some sadness assosiated in the end and even though in every book there was a different POV (and it might be confusing sometimes because u need to remind yourself who is talking and thinking right now) you got to know every character (well at least 5) pretty close.

Unbeknown to Ellen, it sets in motion events that will reverberate through all their lives, eventually leading to Sarah in 2006.Speaking of Lady Arabella, I was so sad when her and Lorian were unable to be together and never got the chance after he was killed by his power-hungry sister. She gets you from the very beginning story telling at its best would definitely recommend this author Only just started reading it but am really enjoying so far have read her two previous books .
