Product Description

Anna Maxwell Martin, Rachael Stirling, Sophie Rundle, and Julie Graham are joined by Olivier Award-nominated actor Hattie Morahan for two new code-breaking thrillers in The Bletchley Circle, Season 2. The series is based on the lives of four extraordinary and brilliant women who worked at top-secret HQ Bletchley Park during World War II. Blood on Their Hands: It's 1953, and a year has passed since their first case was solved. Former Bletchley Park colleague Alice Merren (Hattie Morahan) is in prison, awaiting trial for murder, but offers no defense and refuses to speak. Jean (Julie Graham) believes her to be innocent and must reunite the circle to help establish the innocence of one of their own. Uncustomed Goods: Having lost her job as a translator, Millie (Rachael Stirling) is subsidizing her income by working a sideline business in the black market, which lands her in jeopardy when she becomes caught up in the dangerous and murky world of people trafficking.

Customer Reviews

Just because you are paranoid does not mean they are not out to get you.

Four women, Susan (Anna Maxwell Martin), Jean (Julie Graham), Millie (Rachel Stirling), and Lucy (Sophie Rundle), who previously worked at Bletchley, nine years later, pool their unique talents and resources to solve enigmas and save lives. This is a period piece, mid 50s London, so they have the clothing and hairstyles of the time. They have to maintain the dialogue of the time. This is a formula detective series with all the standard whodunits and clues. What makes this series unique is that instead of the inspector and his sidekick, we have the four women civilians using their unique code-breaking skills picked up from working in Bletchley Park during the war, to do the same thing. Even knowing it is only two seasons, it is worth the purchase. Be aware of repackaging and selling parts of the series.
