4-6The Romeo and Juliet Code ended with Flissy content in Bottlebay, Maine. It's now 1942 and the Coast Guard is patrolling for U-boats. Life goes on, but a surprise arrival upends Flissy's expectations in ways that are breathtakingly complex. Short chapters impel readers onward as the multifaceted story unfolds. The end of the book brings some closure, although not everything wraps up tidily.
