Not the most Christiesque twist, but an entertaining read nonetheless.

i always was thinking that Tommy and Tuppence were both serious men ))

it was my first T&T book and i love characters , they are very funny and cute couple.
but this political crime not for me...

At time Tommy and Tuppence can be very irritating but on the whole I ended up liking them a lot more than I thought I would. For an Agatha Christie there were a  lot of implausible situations and actions which was a little annoying, too many improbable guesses that were used to move the story along. The history of the times was interesting but you can see Christie didn't approve of certain political parties or the reasons why the public might feel the need to take certain actions, she also has an interesting take on what being poor really is. Still, fairly enjoyable if you can get past the many failings this book has.
