manika 's review for:
The Secret Adversary
by Agatha Christie
There is nothing much to say about the plot, twists and resolution as it was really good, unsurprisingly.
I enjoyed very much being introduced to Tuppence and Tommy, you could feel the youthful energy, the rythm of events, actions were quite fast paced but it was rightly done (apart maybe for the beginning).
I loved the relationship between the main two characters, it was charming, almost tender at some point, funny, oh yes quite funny! I mean in Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple, it's more subtle, almost like a suggestion but in Tuppence and Tommy it was straightforward and more dynamic and I loved it.
The story was gripping, entertaining, a bit sentimental but never for long.
However Tuppence's naivity bothered me sometimes, because it felt too much of a cliché (being a young woman)and as if she was trying to hard. Even though there were several women who were involved in the story, there was always this sort of tacit understanding that at the end ther were only there to stimulate men.
