Agatha Christie is one of those authors that never seem to go wrong with her books. Reading your review, I could already sense an unfolding suspense and thriller. She has impeccable character development schools. Tuppence and Tommy sound like a masterpiece in the making.
Great review champ
Thank you very much... i want to read agatha's other books, sooo many
I haven't really read the book yet, so your description makes it seem mysterious and that there is some action in it, without a doubt it is an interesting book and apparently with few pages, which makes it easy to read.
Thank you so much for stopping by 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 This book is cool
