The Secret Advisory by Agatha Christie

brottany's review against another edition

Very interesting story! It took a few chapters to get used to the old-timey language, but I managed. Tuppence and Tommy’s adventures kept me on my toes!

This was a poor kindle version of the original. Whoever typed this book into the kindle did not do a good job. Tons of wording changed (Instead of “Tuppence! Old bean!” was typed “Tuppence! Old legume!”

I love Tommy and Tuppence! I can't believe I hadn't read their first one until now!

I had forgotten how tight writing could be.
Flawless.
Perfectly cut ruby.
I will read or listen again and again and again.
I loved Miss Marple and Hercules Poirot so much that I never started reading Tommy and Tuppence until now. Am I ever glad I have new Christies to read!

Minus a tenth of a star because it's now 100 years later and romance doesn't play quite the same...
Plus any number of stars you'd care to name for the spectacular reading by Nadia May.
