When friends Tommy and Tuppence are unemployed and short of money, they decide to set up a joint venture solving cases. They get involved in a hunt for very important papers that could bring about the end of England as we know it. The case proves a dangerous one, and Tommy and Tuppence have to use all their wits not only to solve the case, but to stay alive.
It was a fun first meeting with the detective duo for me, and I'll be looking forward to more adventures with them.
I almost solved the case. I mean, I had my suspicions early on, then put them aside, then changed my mind again, only to be fooled by the end anyway. It was cleverly constructed by Christie.

Esse é o livro mais chato que eu já li. Eu estava literalmente caindo no sono enquanto lia.
This is the first adventure/introduction of Tommy and Tuppence. They are such great characters, and the storyline clips along at a good pace. For one of her early works, this one held my attention.
started it a year ago, stopped at some point for some reason i can’t recall, and then boom! binge reading it from the beginning and finishing it in less than a week. it was hell entertaining! finally restored my passion in detective and crime novels.

best classical romance I’ve ever read I loved it
Really fun, but not without stakes. A couple of good misdirects and really felt you couldn't trust anyone fully until the end.
This was my first Christie, and a big shout-out to the bookseller at Criminally Good Books in York who took the time to give me all her personal recommendations for good starting points.

Een goede introductie van een 'nieuw' duo in een solide steekspel. Tupoence & Tommy starten als jonge avonturiers na hun terugkeer uit de wereldoorlog. Ze krijgen de kans zich te bewijzen als spionnen op zoek naar een vermist meisje, dat documenten heeft dat de regering in diskrediet brengt. Mr. Brown blijkt een geducht tegenstander.
