tien 's review for:
The Secret Adversary
by Agatha Christie
I always associated [a:Agatha Christie|123715|Agatha Christie|http://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1321738793p2/123715.jpg] with her more popular characters, Miss Jane Marple & Hercule Poirot. And I did, at one point, believed that I've read all her books in my teens though I wouldn't be able to tell you which titles as I read them in Bahasa Indonesia. It's really only in the past few years that I realised she's also written books that are NOT part of the Marple or Poirot series. Tommy and Tuppence are rather entertaining to read though totally not of Marple's/Poirot's class. They kind of bumble through their problem solving though it seems their dogged persistence more than often pays out. This first installment introduced them as old childhood friends who are straitened by circumstances (financially) and decided to do something about it. One coincedence after another (btw, do you believe in coicidences?), they got involved with 'espionage' in saving the country, the world, and at the same time, found love. In essence, more of cute mystery than a twisted whodunit.
