The Secret Adversary (Tommy and Tuppence #1) by Agatha Christie

The Secret Adversary

Format    Hardback - 256 pages

Review    Wow, this is amazingly good.Hard to put down.Full of action written in such attentive detail that we have come to expect from an Agatha Christie story.

A young Tommy and Tuppence are such loveable characters.Post WW1, down on their luck and looking for adventure.
Advertising themselves as-
'Two young adventurers for hire. Willing to do anything, go anywhere. Pay must be good. No unreasonable offer refused', fancying themselves as sleuths.
Quickly, they become embroiled in a case of mystery involving a missing girl, important war time papers and some not very nice men, including criminal mastermind-The Elusive Mr Brown!

Trouble follows them around this adventure.

I loved this book and recommend to any Agatha Christie reader but please remember it was written in 1920, full of all the playfulness and terminology we would surmise from that time.

5 stars for this one.
