After Murdle comes Spydle… Following last year’s bestselling phenomenon, The National Archives and Britain’s leading puzzle writing duo, Dr Gareth Moore and Laura Jayne Ayres, have teamed up to produce a brand new puzzle book that promises to perplex and excite with tales of espionage and intrigue.

Drawing on five centuries of British intelligence, spycraft and cryptography – from Sir Francis Walsingham’s Elizabethan school of espionage and the interception of the Gunpowder Plot through to MI5 operations, cryptographers at Bletchley Park and Cold War agents – each puzzle will be inspired by real-life events and original records held at The National Archives, some only recently discovered, taking the reader on a tour that will educate, intrigue and leave them scratching their heads.
