Welcome to Litsy!

First in Tommy & Tuppence series. Their not quite love birds, but close. I enjoyed it, but it was by no means one Christie's great ones. It kept me entertained and I like the snappy dialogue between Tommy & Tuppence. I listened to this one.

😊 Happy Reading 😊

Tommy & Tuppence, 2 charming & adventurous characters stumble into a world of espionage, danger & conspiracy shortly after World War I.
The plot moves at a brisk pace with unexpected twists & turns. The dynamic between the lead characters is delightful, adding a layer of humor & warmth to the story. A thoroughly enjoyable read that will satisfy fans of classic detective fiction, this novel is sure to captivate readers from beginning to end.

My first Tommy & Tuppance…. And it was alright. I enjoy Poirot much more. But having that spy in WWII thing, and a married couple, was pretty different. Just not among my favorites of Agatha Christie‘s.

I love Tommy and Tuppance they are so cheerful 😊

Unfortunately I read 2 WWII novels back to back not realizing it. Tommy gets contacted to find some German spies in an English village. But Tuppence isn‘t allowed to know and she shows up there anyway. They then work together but apart because they can‘t let anyone know they know each other.

These aren‘t my favorite books. I like Poirot, Battle and Marple much more! But I do enjoy Hugh Fraser.

It was again a very light and cheerful Agatha Christie novel.

Another Christie book, this time with Tommy and Tuppence Beresford. These are short stories, but interlinked. I hadn't heard of these husband and wife detectives by Christie. I watched a few of the TV episodes I could find. I would definitely read more with Tommy and Tuppence.

I'm not generally a fan of Christie's political novels, but I do love Tommy and Tuppence. This story gives an interesting look at what my kids would call the "vibe" in England at the start of WWII. There's a lot more tension than in many of Christie's mysteries. The intrigue I can take or leave, but I like that the novel is emotionally complex, the parent-child relationships feel authentic, and the Beresfords' marriage is refreshingly equal(ish).

Book 2 on my adventure with the ‘All About Agatha‘ podcast. I‘d never read a Tommy and Tuppence book, and kinda glad Christie wrote more Poirot and Marple books. Perhaps I prefer her style of mystery rather than spy intrigue. As for the podcast. The quality of the recording was much improved. I liked the podcast discussion alot, but again….since the book wasn‘t a hit for me, the podcast was of less interest. Next month: Murder on the Links.

Audiobook. Still love Tommy & Tuppence, but this story is a little slow. The couple is getting older, & Tuppence wants to solve a mystery after meeting an elderly lady in a nursing home. 3 ⭐️
