The Secret Adversary (Tommy and Tuppence, #1) by Agatha Christie The plot may be unrealistic, the mystery transparent, and the characters stereotyped, but I love this book. To me, it succeeds perfectly, if unintentionally, at capturing the mood of the post-WWI period, including its ugly underside: ...
I read this book out of two rather joyless motives: researching the Whodunit genre and the Second Novel. Another reason for reading was more whimsical: having seen plenty of Agatha Christie on screen, I'd never actually sat down and finished one of her tomes. And sit down I did, getting through the ...
اهم... تقریبا چیز خاصی نمی تونم بگم. عنصر هیجان خیلی برجسته بود. خیلی کتابا هست که ادعا میشه تا آخرش نمی تونی ولش کنی، ولی من واقعا به اختیار خودم این کتاب رو زمین نگذاشتم. ماجراجویی های تامی و تاپنس علاوه بر حس کارآگاهی ماجرا واقعا جذاب بود. از اول کتاب شک بین جولیوس و سر جیمز بود، و خب مسلماً بیشت...
This was the first of the Tommy and Tuppence books. It's pretty weak. It reads like a Hardy Boys book, full of adventure, danger, and oodles of implausibility. The characters do things rational people wouldn't do. I dunno, it was sort of cute in a way, but I expect something better plotted and writt...
Agatha Christie is an amazing mystery writer. I loved this book. It's a Tommy and Tuppence book. It's full of interesting twists and characters. Sometimes it got a little confusing but you can't help get completely involved in the mystery of Jane Finn. Loved it -- highly recommended.
I was 10 pages into this book when I almost quit reading it. It wasn't at all what I expected. Granted, I haven't read many of Agatha Christie's books – one Miss Marple and one Poirot, I think – but what I've read was enough to make me at least expect a mystery starring an interesting detective/amat...
I have read a number of the Tommy and Tuppence mysteries, but somehow missed out on the first one!In this tale, a very young Tommy and Tuppence are looking for work in post-WWI London and decide that they will go looking for adventure that will pay.It finds them in spades as they look for a young wo...
This is the first Tommy and Tuppence novel, and it's one of Agatha Christie's series which marks a departure from Poirot's "little grey cells" and Miss Marple's fluffy English village connections. Granted, I love Miss Marple, but I also loved They Came to Baghdad, which was an espionage mystery abou...
Even though the secret adversary is fairly obvious from early on, I loved the relationship between the two main characters and I loved the pace the book has. Four stars!
