The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie
5.0
4.55 stars rating
Flat broke and out of work, Tommy and Tuppence, school friends, reconnect in their early twenties in London, and as a last resort for their financial troubles they decide to start a bold business scheme, advertising that they are "willing to do anything, go anywhere."
In the spirit of classic mysteries, trouble finds them soon enough, and they find themselves deep into an international political conspiracy, a strange disappearance, sudden death and well off collaborators.
This was my first Tommy and Tuppence novel, and was such a fun and cute read. I had a great time getting to know them and following along on their adventure. I was surprised to chuckle many times at their dialogue at the beginning of the book (at the words and ideas).
It has such a different pacing than the Poirot books. And I'm looking forward to comparing it with the first Miss Marple book as well (which I don't remember reading before).
