Interesting premise but the mystery was solved in the last twenty pages when one character simply told Tommy and Tuppence what had happened lol. Love miss Agatha but this one is not worth the read

I enjoyed this a lot more the second time round. I think because I already know and love the characters this time, and wasn't expecting the action that's in their earlier books. I enjoyed Tuppence reading lots of childhood books again, and I thought Tuppence in her 70s riding down hills in the garden on a child's toy horse sounded hilarious.
Tommy and Tuppence have become some of my favourite characters of Christie's, and it was lovely to read all their books again.
Also, having read the pretty messy Passenger to Frankfurt, this is much better!

This was not one of Christie's best works. The plot meandered, and the dialogue was a bit repetitive. I was not bored per se, but I was not engaged like I am while reading most of her novels.
