From the history of WWII and of Hawaii, The Codebreaker's Secret by Sara Ackerman builds a two timeline story - one in the 1940s and one in the 1960s. In both timelines, there is a disappearance and a mystery. The connections between the two timelines and the mysteries become clear to me much before the reveal in the book happens. However, the discovery by the characters is part of the story. This is the third Sara Ackerman book I have read. I look forward to seeing what comes next.

A charming book with an even more charming set of characters, set in Hawaii, on the islands of Oahu and the Big Island in 1943 and the 1960s. There are two timelines that seemed to be joined only by the presence of one character, a news photographer, in both of them. But at the end the timelines turn out to have much more to do with each other, in surprising ways.
It's obvious the author loves Hawaiian culture and the natural beauty of the islands, rendered in gracious and authentic detail.
