This book was such a fun read. I liked it a lot better than the only other book I've read by Agatha Christie, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. It was the characters that really did it for me. Tuppence and Tommy are just the cutest pair. Tuppence is a clever, rebellious, free spirit who fights against the patriarchy and Tommy is a sweet, reliable guy. They're the perfect match. I feel like there are not enough female detectives in the genre so it was great to see that, especially since Tuppence is such a fun character to root for.

And of course since this was an Agatha Christie novel the plot was tons of fun. Lots of twists and turns and unfortunately I was stumped once again. I'm having flashbacks of my frustration with the Encyclopedia Brown books I read as a kid.

If I do decide to read another Agatha Christie novel it will definitely be one in the Tuppence and Tommy series.

Quite fun! This is more of an adventure than a mystery, and it works quite well. The characters are charming, the stakes are both high and grounded, and it’s interesting to watch the characters realize at some point that they are in over their heads and have to really work to not have a terrible end.

Loved this book! The twist was really well done. I enjoyed reading all parts of the book. Agatha Christie seems to be a great adventure writer as well.
