However, there were decent secondary characters, and the physical settings include places I have been in repeatedly and care about. So I finished.

I made it through BLACKOUT, but I bailed on All Clear. I was expected to believe that Oxbridge-educated historians who specialized in WWII couldn't figure out what BP stood for? I am not an Oxbridge-educated historian who specialized in WWII and yet I knew the first time the initials were mentioned that it must stand for Bletchley Park. An author who thinks her readers are stupid beyond belief doesn't deserve to be read. I'd never touch her again.
