L-J's Review of The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie is a creative genius.  She has an amazing way of creating an intricate web of characters and plot lines that keep the reader entertained, mesmerized, and guessing the whole time.  She keeps the reader engaged and on his/her toes throughout the entire book.  Though she introduces a plethora of characters, she does it in a way that makes it easy for the reader to remember who's who.

The Secret Adversary is fun, creative, and filled with so much action, it was hard to keep up.  There was never a dull moment and just when I thought I had it figured out, Christie threw in some other twist that kept the mystery alive.  Compared to some of her other novels--And Then There were None, A Pocket Full of Rye, Death on the Nile, At Bertram's Hotel--this one is quite lighthearted and not too suspenseful.  I recommend this book as a quick, entertaining read that will leave the reader satisfied as Christie is mindful to tie up every loose end she introduces.  What a thoughtful author!

XOXO,
