Excellent! Out of the three Christie novels that I have read, this has been my favorite so far. The irrepressible characters Tommy and Tuppence are real winners in my eye, although at times Tuppence airs a rather too carefree view of life for my taste. What I really liked about this book was that there was not an overwhelming number of people who could have been Mr. Brown, unlike in some of her other novels where there may be as many as eight suspects for who committed the crime. This gave the plot a sense of narrowing in and growing more and more intense as it came down to being only two or three people who could be suspected. And just by the way, I totally was not expected The Secret Adversary to be who it really was!

I look forward to reading more Tommy and Tuppence stories in the future.

Shelby Stafford N or M? is a good Tommy and Tuppence story


Laura I just read 'N or M?'. It was fun, but I think I like this one better.
