The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie

4.0

---

As ever, Christie writes a twisty turny plot aimed at confusing and bamboozling the reader. But what so appeals to me in country house farce murder mysteries falls a little flat when there is international intrigue at the core of the story. Christie's 'Young Adventurers' are a little tedious and uninspiring, and the villains a little too pat. Enjoyable, but not gripping.
