But it really is still fun and I have to say I do very much like the Beresfords. Thanks for this review, and thanks for reminding me of those characters.

I have only read one long ago. I have the Secret Adversary on the shelf to read though. I did not realize they this book was only her second one!

Likewise, your description of Tommy is spot-on too. Their zeal for adventure, reckless as it would seem, is undiminished by their knowledge that they might have bitten more than they can chew. I still have to read the others in the series.Prashant C.

I don't think Christie does espionage as well as her conventional murders but glad you enjoyed the book. I can remember the plot very well.Sarahhttp://crimepieces.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
