Short story from KU + Audible listen

I feel like I've been on an adventure! Traveling from Withernsea, England in 1943 to New York 2023!

Lily Baines is only twenty two, a petty officer in the Women's Royal Naval Service (the Wrens). She intercepts live radio communications sent to enemy vessels that hunted their own.

"She knew what she heard"

Matt Jackson, a young US officer is hearing a crackle of static on his radio. He hears the "downton abbey voice" and the stakes are high.

A short story/listen ~ it has great narration, some "action" feels, emotion and intrigue. Recommend if you love special connections, Bletchley Park and code breakers history.

Narrated by: Saskia Maarleveld, Andrew Gibson / 1 hour 22 min
