michaelmay 's review for:
The Secret Adversary
by Agatha Christie
I've always heard good things about Agatha Christie's Tommy and Tuppence stories, but that they were "different" from Christie's cozy mysteries. And since I haven't even exhausted all of her more traditional books that I've wanted, I've put off reading the outlier series. When the opportunity came to listen to an audio version for free though, I couldn't put it off.
Judging only by the first book in the series, Tommy and Tuppence are different from what I expect from Christie, but they're so different that they reject any comparison to Christie's other detectives. And while there's certainly a mystery in The Secret Adversary, it's a spy story and not a dead body (though of course dead bodies do turn up).
Tommy and Tuppence are total amateurs who naively insert themselves into a situation that they're not ready for and have to rely on their good sense and intuition to get through it. In the process, they discover that they make a great team and I agree with them.
