Alice Butler has been receiving some odd messages - all anonymous, all written in code. Are they from someone at PopCo, the profit-hungry corporation she works for? Or from Alice's long-lost father? Is someone else on her trail? The solution, she is sure, will involve the code-breaking skills she learned from her grandparents and the key she's been wearing around her neck since she was ten. PopCo is a grown-up adventure of family secrets, puzzles and the power of numbers.

I hate writing reviews like this, but this book was a total snooze fest, I slogged through all 464 pages hoping there was going to be a pay off, and well, it never came. The characters were boring and one dimensional, the storyline was all over the place and preachy (and I usually don't mind a little preach), I will say the cryptanalysis and maths stuff was pretty interesting, but not enough to make up for the rest. All in all this just wasn't my cup of tea.
