I don't usually find mysteries involving international intrigue terribly compelling, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this first installment in the Tommy and Tuppence series. They are an utterly charming pair who play off each other's strengths while solving the case, as they also circle around their developing relationship. Their spunk (and desperation for adventure and funds) makes the novel sparkle.

I haven't read this much Agatha Christie in years (hooray for the #agat

...

hachristieclub on Litsy!), but I'd forgotten how skillfully she plots her novels. There are few mystery authors who come close to her ability to weave such intricate plots together.

==============
You got me, Agatha Christie. You got me. Well done. *applauds* I thought I had this book figured out at 49% and was SO VERY frustrated when none of the protagonists put it together. At 90% I had pretty much decided I would rate this book two stars. And then. The ending. *more applause*

Honestly, I wasn't very surprised by who the bad guy was, because you suspect him too throughout the book. I was MORE surprised, however, to find that the person who I thought it was, was in fact completely innocent haha!

I will say that Tuppance and Tommy FEELING like they could completely trust three different strangers in a row right after meeting each one was very frustrating. The lack of heavy emotion from each of them when the other goes missing also bothered me. Tuppance wasn't as bad, but Tommy was the WORST at that part.
