Abstract: We study the moduli space $V_{4}mathcal{M}_g$ of Klein four covers of genus $g$ curves and its natural compactification. This requires the construction of a related space which has a choice of basis for the Klein four group. This space has the interesting property that the two components intersect along a component of the boundary. Further, we carry out a detailed analysis of the boundary, determining components, degrees of the components over their images in $overlinemathcal{M}_g$, and computing the canonical divisor of $overline{V}_{4}mathcal{M}_g$.
