I was rather disappointed by “N or M?” - it was a slow story, and I figured out the identity of the perpetrator quite early on. That being said, things got a bit more exciting towards the end, and there were revelations in the closing chapter which I did not see coming. Not my favourite Christie novel, but decent overall.

3.5 stars. I do love Tommy and Tuppence, but I figured out who M was instantly and I got a little frustrated with them for not seeing it.

Not my favourite of the Tommy and Tuppence books, but a good one nonetheless. As with all Christies the solution keeps you guessing but is totally obvious once it's revealed!
