I love Agatha Christie normally, but this story just really wasn’t very good I’m sorry to say.
It’s clear it’s an earlier work, it’s all over the place, and the plot of the book (spy and espionage during and post WW1) contrasts massively with the tone and style of the book which is silly, frivolous and at times just utterly ridiculous (even for 1920’s Christie societal standards).
The ending / baddie was (again surprisingly for a Christie book) blatantly obvious from nearly the first time we met them.
I don’t think I will be continuing with the Tommy and Tuppance series, I’ll just stick with Miss Marple and Poirot!

My usual go to Agatha Christie character is Hercule Poirot, but this was an enjoyable read. The typical twists and red herrings are here along with some interesting characters. Tommy and Tuppence are enjoyable with their joint venture goals, but Jane Finn is the true hero of this story. I would have enjoyed more about her.
