Slowly getting caught up on reviews. Read this back in Feb and never posted 😅 I liked this more than I thought I would. Usually I‘m not one for espionage-esque plots but this one didn‘t bother me so much. The characters were endearing and I‘m looking forward to the other Tommy and Tuppence adventures. #ChristiesCapers

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. 4w

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) 1mo

Librarybelle How odd it‘s labeled as a Poirot mystery! 1mo

MariaW @Librarybelle To lure more readers into buying it? 🤣 1mo

Librarybelle Maybe! 😂 1mo

ferskner Ooooo the slang on this one is next level! 1mo
