N or M?

N or M? by Agatha Christie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I read this quickly in anticipation of the next episodes of Partners In Crime airing on BBC TV starting on Sunday. Mind you, the first three episodes covered The Secret Adversary, which bore little resemblance to the book, save perhaps the names of the characters. N or M is another delightful romp through the thrills of espionage during the 2nd World War. Tommy and Tuppence Beresford are appointed by the Intelligence Service as two unlikely spies to seek out a man and a woman among the guests at a seaside hotel, suspected of being Fifth Columnists. It's fun, it's fast paced and full of quaint language as one would expect being first published in 1941. And it has a nice surprise finish. A gem from the pen of Agatha Christie.
