A Good Story!

Good story, although not my favorite Agatha Christie mystery. I did enjoy the audio re-read. Narration was well done.

Edge of your seat suspense!

If you are a fan of mysteries and suspense then this is the novel for you! Filled with twists and turns you will be on the edge of your seat as this novel unfolds. Agatha Christie is a fantastic storyteller, this is a title you wont regret one-clicking!

Fun crime novel

I really adored this novel, what more could you ask for? It had missing people, government spies, hidden clues, all the good stuff! Sure, there were many coincidences that seemed a bit far fetched, but it was such a fun read, those didn't take me out of it. As always with Christie, you keep expecting a twist and she keeps giving them to you. The romance factor between Tommy and Tuppence was so sweet as well, I definitely plan to read more of the series to see how that turns out.

A Fun Mystery From a Master

A solid 7+ hour narration for a decent cast of characters involved in a mystery along with a dash of political espionage. This is my first read of the Tommy and Tuppence Mysteries and I very much enjoyed the young protagonists as they are drawn into a growing plot to topple governments following the First World War. The key hinges on finding a young American woman who disappeared in London after surviving the sinking of the Lusitania. Like most in the genre, the plot at the center of everything was a bit of a stretch, but didn’t detract so much that I could not enjoy the story. As T & T stumble toward revealing the secret plot being directed by a mysterious Mr Brown, you get the typical reversals of fortune, red herrings, and surprising betrayals (if you aren’t paying attention … there are enough clues to guess a fair amount before it was revealed). All in all … although some may find this one of the weaker mysteries from Agatha Christie, the audible performance pulls it up to be a fun introduction.

I was given this free advance review/listener copy (ARC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
