Tommy & Tuppence take the case, but soon find themselves baffled by all the different stories they hear. Though WW1 is over now, if anyone finds out what was written in the papers, it might just ignite another battle. No one can find her, but there are several ne’er-to-do-wells and government spies searching for her.
She was given a very important government paper by a pseudo-spy who died in the tragedy, but Jane seems to have lost her memory. You kinda know they have to end up together, right? A mysterious man overhears their conversation and asks them for help in finding Jane Finn who disappeared when the Lusitania sank nearly five years earlier. In this caper, Tommy and Tuppence, ~22 year old somewhat poor residents of London around 1920, are bored enough to form a partnership where they will agree to do anything legal to obtain a salary.
Although I’ve read a bunch of her novels, I hadn’t read anything in this particular series, so I was glad that one of them won the poll to choose our books that I had set up earlier this year. The first book up, The Secret Adversary, is the initial entry in the Tommy & Tuppence cozy mystery series she’s written. I am hosting an Agatha Christie Readathon on my blog in April 2018 where we are reading one of her books each week.
