sistermagpie 's review for:
The Secret Adversary
by Agatha Christie
I've never read any of the Tommy and Tuppence book. It delivered everything the premise promised. Tommy and Tuppence also deliver everything their names imply--snappy 20s dialogue, modern flapper attitudes and a couple truly meant to be.
I figured out the identity of the Adversary early on (and I'm not particularly good at that sort of thing) but the book convinced me to doubt myself when it told me I was wrong. Anyway, it's not so much a mystery, although there is one, as an adventure. There's just the sort of elements--spies (Bolsheviks!), mental homes, amnesia, konks on the head, mysterious pictures, poison, funky landmarks and the sinking of the Lusitania. If you're looking for a fun post-WWI romp, this is for you, old bean.
