I really enjoyed this one.  I loved the witty banter between Tommy and Tuppence, the main characters.  The ending was what I was hoping for!  There were a lot of twists to the plot, though.  I wasn’t quite sure how it was going to end, since the clues kept pulling the reader in every direction.  I only gave this one four stars because I figured out whodunnit about half way through the book.  It was fast-paced and action packed throughout the whole read.  It’s never a dull moment with Tommy and Tuppence!  Although, the plot was a little outlandish, it was most certainly fun to read.  

I love Agatha Christie books.  They make me so happy.  I highly suggest this one.  It was most certainly an entertaining read!

Despite the fact that it dragged on a bit and had a smidge too many twists and turns, I really enjoyed this book! The narrator of the audiobook I listened to was fantastic and did different accents and tones for all of the characters. I thought that I predicted the ending about 2/3 of the way through, but I ended up being completely wrong! Agatha Christie has created yet another amazing mystery!

3.5 stars - she got me

These two are probably my favorite of all the Agatha Christie detectives. This was just absolutely delightful. Also, a lot of fun to listen to on audio.

I wonder if Enid Blyton loved this book because it has a very ‘Famous Five’ vibe: complete with improbable situations, lots of “Okd bean”s, and a fairy tale happy ending.

I enjoyed it-for the writing more than the story. It was pretty superficial and ridiculously far fetched but entertaining nonetheless.

This book is alright and delightful.
