N or M? by Agatha Christie
4.0

3.75*

Agatha Christie is of course famous for her murder mysteries, but she wrote more widely than that, dipping her toes in spy stories, such as the excellent [b:The Man in the Brown Suit|209194|The Man in the Brown Suit (Colonel Race, #1)|Agatha Christie|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1390018729l/209194._SY75_.jpg|995869].

N or M? features Tommy and Tuppence back on the scene, trying to find some meaningful work during WWII despite their 'great advanced age’ (they are in their 40s - lol). Luckily enough, they are sent on a mission to uncover a spy in a seaside resort. The beginning, after Tuppence’s masterful action, is a little slow, but speeds nicely towards a satisfactory end. I must admit Tuppence is really the character that shines in these stories. She is so smart and resourceful!
