The Secret Adversary
by Agatha Christie
A thoroughly enjoyable read
This book, which was published in January 1922, introduces the reader to the characters of Tommy and Tuppence, who will appear in another 4 books by Agatha Christie.
I know these two characters are not as popular as Hercule Poirot and Ms Marple, but they appear to have so much fun in this adventure, despite the dangers and the sticky situations they find themselves in. I have read a short story in which they appeared (though I cannot remember its title) and had enjoyed it.
They are a great double act with Tuppence's curiosity and impetuosity clashing with Tommy's caution.
Agatha Christie's style in this book is somewhat different. I felt she had a lot of fun writing it. This isn't a side of her we find in her Poirot and Miss Marple books.
I thoroughly enjoyed The Secret Adversary. As usual, we are faced with quite a few characters and therefore a few possible culprits, and a lot of red herrings. I thought two of the characters as possible masterminds from a few chapters in, and got down to one from half way through the book. And for once, I was right!!!
