I just finished reading this book for the #christiescapers buddy read. I‘ll write my review for it tomorrow and then I‘ll start The Murder On The Links after that. I‘m close to being caught up with the buddy read now.

Another belated review… this was the #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3 pick for February.

I was excited to read this because I hadn‘t read any of the Tommy & Tuppence books before, and it was such fun—in spite of the more improbable & unrealistic aspects of the plot! Both Tommy & Tuppence annoyed me a little at times, but I did enjoy their youthful energy and banter—as well as seeing Agatha Christie write younger protagonists. ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) I loved their ingenuity as they navigated various predicaments independently of each other. Tuppence had her own strengths and contributions in unraveling the mystery, instead of just being a throwaway token female in the duo. I look forward to reading more Tommy & Tuppence in the future!

This was also my 1922 pick for the #192025 challenge.

No idea why my ebook is marked as Hercule Poirot mystery. 🧐 It is definitely not one. Language-wise it had been quite challenging for me as non-native English speaker & very interesting as an English teacher because I had to look up many words which I feel broadened my knowledge and horizon. That‘s something that normally does not happen with Poirot. Content-wise it was a 50-50 chance of who is the culprit short after the beginning. Of course I…

MariaW guessed wrong. 🙈 But again that‘s something I never came across in the Poirot novels. So the Tommy & Tuppence murder mystery started off well and different from Poirot. 💪 (edited) 1w

#christiescapers @Librarybelle
If you love Nick & Nora from THE THIN MAN, you'll adore Tommy & Tuppence. While they are not professional detectives but ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances, T&T's banter, resourcefulness, and camaraderie make them endearing, and their dynamic adds a lightheartedness to the story that contrasts with the high-stakes espionage (and at times, contrived) plot. Overall, a riveting and fun mystery read.

Librarybelle Yay! Glad you liked it! 2w

Slowly, so very slowly, catching up on buddy reads and other books. I finished this one tonight, and maybe the third time is the charm—I appreciated Tommy and Tuppence a bit more with this reading than I did the prior two times. Perhaps I needed an off-the-wall pair of unlikely detectives.

It just goes to show how you can have a different reading experience each time you reread a book. #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3

Aims42 100% agree that reading books at different times can have widely different results. There are many books that I know if I would‘ve read them when I was younger, I wouldn‘t appreciate as much as I do now 🥰 3w
MariaW Still onto that one 🙈 3w
