Book Review: 2 Treasure Boxes

This is a story about two young adults who get involved in a mystery involving the elusive Mr. Brown. There are several murders and several people are kidnapped. There is also a threat to the great state of England. It is up to the young adventures to solve the problem. Along the way they meet several characters, both good and bad. The language used is very different from today because the story takes place and was written just after the first world war, but I found this charming and pleasureable. It gave a more authentic feel to the storyt, I felt like I was really there. I enjoyed reading both Tommy and Tuppance's adventures, their characters where original and their actions were intriguing. Both Tommy and Tuppance ran into trouble several times and I was never really sure where the story was going, so this made it a good read. The book follows a good solid story line and it keeps us wondering right up to the end of the book.

This is a standalone book, although Agatha Chrisie wrote additional stories with Tommy and Tuppance, they each take place later and later in the adventurer's lives. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading detective or crime novels as it is a good story.
