izabrekilien 's review for:

The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie
5.0

I don't know why I kept such a bad memory of this story. I read it oh so many years ago and I never really liked the Tommy and Tuppense series that ran on TV at a time, yet I want to re-read everything by Agatha Christie. Why ? Mmmmm... Just because. No particular reason.
And I did right because I really rediscovered that couple and liked it a lot. They are lots of fun together, with extraordinary adventures happening to them. Even though I usually loathe espionage stories, this one delighted me.

Quote :
"Take my luggage down."
"Yes, sir. Going away, sir ?"
"I'm going to the devil," said Tommy, regardless of the menial's feelings.
That functionary, however, merely replied respectfully :
"Yes, sir. shall I call a taxi ?"
