This was one of my first Agatha Christie novels, and I liked it so much, I read it again. I readily recommend this book. Tommy and Tuppence make for a nice change of pace from Poirot/Miss Marple.

I decided to read this book because it not only was an Agatha Christie but it envolves Tommy and Tuppence. They are my favorite charcters and did not disapoint me. Tuppence is my favorite, of course, because she is so like me. However even if you aren't like me you will love this book. With just enough mystery and suspence mixed in with common logic Agatha Christie gave us another one of her famous stories. It's the best I've read in a long time

How could anyone not love Tommy and Tuppence? They are so full of character, life, and vigor! N or M perfectly exemplifies the beloved characteristics of our dear sweet "Carrot Tops" and "Mrs. Blekensop." This book encorporates all the elements of the classic Mystery story: deceit, suspence, morse code, going undercover, and of course, romance. This is light-hearted must read for every Agatha Christie lover!

While waiting for the spies from Moscow to show their hand, Tommy and Tuppence, aka Mr & Mrs Beresford, took over a detective agency known to be associated with the Moscow spies and masqueraded as the real owner Mr Blunt and staff. A fair number of legitimate cases unrelated to the spies came their way, and the two played the game by pretending to be famous fictious detectives, including Father Brown (creation of GK Chesterton) and Sherlock Holmes (creation of Arthur Conan Doyle). They solved the cases with more than an element of fun, typical husband-wife oneupmanship, female intuition etc.

While entertaining, the backdrop of the detective agency being a Trojan horse for counter-intelligence was rather naive and unrealistic. It presumed the Russians did not know the faces of the English traitors they recruited, and once the trap was exposed, they would prefer to spring it rather than leave it alone.

This book is a good book to read if you like mystery books. I would want someone else to read this so that they can understand that detectives do all they can to solve the crime. Tommy is like my sister's boyfriend. He's like a very shy and cautious person. While I was reading this book I could not believe that the mystery's were about divorce cases. Tommy and Tuppence are middle aged people who are married. Another reason I would reccomand this book is because it has a lot of humor and excitement. Its just a great book about a Russian mystery. I learned some things about the book. Im going to go get more of her mystery books from the library to read.

This is one of Christie's best efforts. Every story moves smoothly and is satisfying throughout til their expert conclusions. I really like her Tommy and Tuppence books. It's too bad she only wrote 5 of them, but this one I think is her finest. The 2 meld well together and even argue delightfully. A must addition to any Agatha collection. You will not be disappointed.
