The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie
3.0
My Booktube
this is so close to being 4 stars but like... the fact the overwhelming majority of this book is "character x is missing lets find them!" *character found, but now character y is missing*
Like for a "Tommy & Tuppence" novel, they sure as hell spend like literally 0 time together and it would be more accurate to call the first half the Tuppence and the second half the Tommy. Cause like literally they're both MIA for such long sections of this. And it sucks because their interactions are really good like if the book went on the same way it was early on, it could've easily been 5 stars.
The mystery twists were at least interesting, though I figured out "where" Jane was before it was revealed, though i think that might have been intentional. However I also just don't really like the big final reveal, like it was just eh. I was kinda into it but then I just decided I didn't like it at all. Like it was a nice twist, just didn't work for me.
One of the middle of the road Christie novels, thankfully not one of her awful ones, but still sad it isn't one of her better ones.
