The Secret Adversary

A Tommy and Tuppence Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: Hugh Fraser

From the brilliant pen of Agatha Christie comes the first novel in her Tommy and Tuppence mystery series featuring the beloved sleuthing duo—now a movie on both Acorn TV and PBS.

Tommy and Tuppence are young, in love… and flat broke. Restless for excitement, they decide to embark on a daring business scheme: Young Adventurers Ltd.—""willing to do anything, go anywhere."" But they get more than they bargained for when their first assignment for the sinister Mr. Whittington draws them into a diabolical conspiracy.

It isn’t long before they find themselves plunged into more danger than they ever could have imagined—a danger that could put an abrupt end to their business…and their lives.

Loved it! Lots of plot twists!

I thought I had it figured out, but I was wrong. Narrator was excellent! Can't wait to read the next book.

CHARMING

This must be an earlier work. the protagonists are youthful, the sort charming with a twist here and there. strong dialogue with, I think, intentional cliché to add a little satire. not one of her classics, but charming.

A wonderful listen with marvelous characters

Where does The Secret Adversary rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

While Tommy and Tuppence aren't as well known as Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot, in some ways I enjoy them more. Christie injects them with levity and humor that seems to be missing with her more celebrated detectives.

Hugh Fraser does a marvelous job, as always, with his narration.

Very Agatha Christie

...in its twists and turns, its distinctly drawn characters, and its sense of serious play. This was my first T and T story and I imagine I'll try out another. Hugh Fraser did a great job!

Good one!

Not your usual Agatha Christie. This one’s an adventure, and a very good one at that. With superb narration by Hugh Fraser as usual. On to the next books in the series now! :)
