The Secret Adversary: (Cambridge BOLD LIBRARY)
商品資訊
商品簡介
The novel that introduced Tommy and Tuppence, a bantering pair of 1920s bright young things who solve a mystery together while falling for each other.
The Great War is over and jobs are scarce. Tommy Beresford and Prudence "Tuppence" Cowley, who were friends before the war, run into each other in London and discover they are both equally short of money and opportunities. On a whim, they decide to start a business, advertising themselves as "The Young Adventurers."
Their first job leads them into a series of increasingly dangerous situations involving international spies, a society beauty, a Russian count, the wreck of the Lusitania, an amnesia patient, an American millionaire, and a fiendishly clever arch-criminal known only as "Mr. Brown."
By the time the dust settles, all the puzzle pieces have been fitted together--and the young couple have realized their feelings for each other and have become engaged.
The plot takes place with a lot of research and calculations which can, sometimes annoy the reader. But the culmination of such rigorous technicality is a book which, at the end of the day, can make you go "Wow. That was a good read."
This book, although serious in its appearance, can also provide for good humour with characters such as Hastings around, as his innocence combined with his 'bromance' with Poirot can make for a hearty laugh. All in all, this book gives the reader a prelude of the big little man, that is Poirot and his exciting adventures along with his trusty partner, Captain Hastings.
