Postern Of Fate

MissQuin — Fri, 04 Oct 2013 16:44:39 +0000

I have just finished this book and I was disappointed. It couldn't live up to the plot summary of the back of the book. It mentioned murders, spies and mysterious remarks in books. Sounds exciting. But I'm fairly patient a reader, but I felt the plot was agonizingly slow. Some of the information felt repetitive in the first few chapters, but by the end of the book I was so frustrated. I won't give any spoilers at present, as there's not a spoiler tab. But I felt the end just didn't seem coherent enough to make sense.

I wondered what other people thought of the story?

I give Agatha Christie full credit for writing a book in her 80's. I hope she got some enjoyment from writing a final Tommy and Tuppence.

Tommy and Tuppence

I have tried, several times, to read a Tommy and Tuppence book and quite frankly, I couldn't get past the first few pages, I have never finished a book. I love AC, am I missing something? Should I continue reading, do they get better? Which would you recommend for me to read?

I have just finished re-reading The Secret Adversary and something \Puzzled me, SPOILER ALERT! When Tommy and Julius go to the Moat House at Ebury and Julius suggests going by Car why is Tommy s keen to go by Train? Id it that he is enjoying himself amnd wants to make the adventure last as long as possible or is it Finances or is it that Julius's Common sense and Get up and go makes Tommy feel embarraced and he wats to keep a bit of dignity and do things his slower but more romantic way? and what is a Moat House?

Agatha Christie's Tommy and Tuppence - Partners in Crime with James Warwick and Francesca Annis

I was just wondering what people thought about this and is it any good? I don't know much about Tommy and Tuppence, but I love AC and notice that they did allot of the stories. Just wondered what the opinion was?

By The Pricking of My Thumbs

Tommy_A_Jones — Fri, 19 Sep 2014 15:04:50 +0000

I finished re-reading this book on Wednesday, I liked it a lot more than last time, In fact I would go so far as to say I loved it I think I even enjoyed it more than the last time I read The Secret Adversary, there were only 2 things I got lost on,

SPOILER ALERT!

After Seeing his Friend who told him he was investigating Eccles Tommy went to The Artists Widow, What made him go there and how did he know where to go and what made him go there.

SPOILER ALERT! When did Mrs Moody Die?.

I thought the bit from seeing The Artists wife onwards was a bit scrappy but I thought It was much better than I remembered it.

N or M?

Hello
I am the fan of Agatha Christie in Taiwan. I read the novel N or M? recently, but something confuses me. The following are my questions:
Are Anthony Marston and Tony marston the same person? If your answer is yes, why Agatha Christie did not just write Anthony Marston or just write Tony marston in this story?

The Clergyman's Daughter/The Red House

Tommy_A_Jones — Sun, 20 Mar 2016 15:31:16 +0000

I am re-reading Partners in Crime, It hadn't occurred to me before that Collectively they are a re-working of Poirot's The Missing Will and Miss Maple's Strange Jest, I really love these stories but SPOILER ALERT! Can someone please tell me who the Poltergeist was? Thankyou.

Why didn't AC write more Tommy and Tuppence Stories?

lachy.a.w — Tue, 12 Nov 2013 22:14:26 +0000

I've just finished reading the Secret Adversary and I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Shame I've heard that none of the other T&T books are much good but I actually think she had two great characters there and could have worked with them more, especially in her earlier years while she still in her prime. What does everyone else think?

New Tommy and Tuppence TV movie

faith.b.seltzer — Sat, 05 Sep 2015 11:56:13 +0000

I just watched the new Tommy and Tuppence TV movie and it was horrible! It was so removed from Christie's couple they were boring! The whole story was so removed from the book I couldn't even follow it! The actor who played Tommy was nothing like the Tommy I know from Agatha's stories, I hated him. The relationship that Tommy and Tuppence had was one of the reasons I enjoyed this book and in the new show they are whinny and not interesting at all. Why do they think they can improve on Agatha Christie's books??

Book of the Month February 2014: N or M?

Whether you're re-reading this classic Tommy and Tuppence spy adventure or if this is your first encounter with the characters, we want to know your thoughts.

What do you think of the adventurous couple? Have you read all their stories? How do these differ from Christie's other novels lead by Poirot and Miss Marple?
