kathryn08 's review for:
The Secret Adversary
by Agatha Christie
I started reading Agatha Christie at least 20 years ago, and the funny thing about them is that you can really enjoy reading them at the time, but they are actually incredibly forgettable! I remember my Mum reading some of my Agatha Christies when I first started on them - she had read them many years earlier as a young girl herself, and was surprised that she either wasn’t reading any of the same ones as she had read previously (although granted, Ms Christie was a very prolific author) or she just couldn’t remember any of them.
Now, 20 years plus further on, and I am in the same boat! Except that my initial love affair with Agatha Christie murder mysteries lasted long enough to enable me to get through almost all of her novels (except for several that my library didn’t have and so were a bit more difficult to lay my hands on), and on a re-read of some of her works, I also can’t remember them!! And I do know for a fact that I read this one - it was my first Tommy and Tuppence, and I thought it was fantastic, at the time. I can even see the copy of the book I read in my mind’s eye - but the story is not at all familiar!! Nor did I guess “whodunnit” this time around!!
Oh well, at least it enables me to enjoy her works all over again!
