cestsibon 's review for:

The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie
2.0

i am more proud of myself for figuring out whodunit (or i guess i should say who the mysterious mr brown was) right from the jump than i am for finishing this book. this is book two for my personal project on reading all the agatha christie mysteries in order of publication.



i did like tommy and tuppence a lot but i wasn’t really interested in the central subject matter of the mystery so it was kind of boring in some parts. to me, the red herrings were much easier to pick out and i feel like it kind of shows that christie was still figuring out her craft at that point. also random, but the fade to black in the final reveal was so weird??? anyway, i’m excited to start murder on the links now especially because it’s back to hercule poirot!
