The Secret Adversary Agatha Christie - The Secret Adversary is the second published detective fiction novel by British writer Agatha Christie, first published in January 1922 in the United Kingdom by The Bodley Head[1] and in the United States by Dodd, Mead and Company later in that same year. Hiring themselves out as "young adventurers willing to do anything" is a smart move for Tommy and Tuppence. All Tuppence has to do is take an all-expenses-paid trip to Paris and pose as someone named Jane Finn. But with the job comes a threat to her life, and the disappearance of her mysterious employer. Now Tuppence's newest job is playing detective—because if there's a Jane Finn that really exists, she's got a secret that's putting both their lives in danger.

This audiobook is a great way to make chores and long train rides fly by.
Took a while to really kick off, but was quite an enjoyable read! I figured out who the culprit was early on, though.
Tommy and Tuppence are fabulous! The twists and turns were very much like other Agatha Christie books. But there was more spy thriller type action in the book.
I haven't read any Tommy and Tuppence before (that I recall anyhow), so didn't know what to expect. I know they age over their books, but didn't realize they were so young at the beginning!
This wasn't my favorite Christie, but in the end I liked it. I'm not really a fan of spy/espionage stuff, so I think that was part of my dislike. I did like all the various identity stuff and the relationship between Tommy and Tuppence.
