The Secret Adversary

While I'm familiar with stories written by or based on work by Agatha Christie made for television, I've never actually read any of her work before. So, faced with an opportunity to listen a book on loan, I decided it was a good time to remedy that ailment.

When I think of Christie's work, I think of popular characters. While I had not heard of Tommy and Tuppence before, I found them to be characters I enjoyed going on an adventure with. Listening to a reader colors the characters, and I thought the reader did a fantastic job, making it easy to follow the different players.

Lastly, I enjoyed this story. Sometimes I enjoy trying to figure out the mystery, but this is one where I found myself wanting to simply enjoy the ride. Having 96 years of mysteries to study since the writing of this book, a reader could see this mystery as being a bit simple. In a way, I like that there aren't twists piled up on top of each other. That being said, I thought the end was well timed and well presented, keeping my curiosity piqued.

I am sure to pick up another Christie book for another fun adventure.
