Honestly, I did enjoy this first Tommy and Tuppence's story. It was a refreshing change from Poirot's cases. Not that I don't like Poirot's, but I was able to follow Tommy and Tuppence more than I was able to follow Poirot. The change of narration from Tommy's POV to Tuppence's and vice versa was maybe what I enjoyed the most. It allowed me to see both versions and build up my theory of who the villain was, and I enjoyed how I was more indulged in this one. Besides, the tension between those two was magnificent.
