There’s a mildly interesting idea in here somewhere, but it’s well-buried. ![]() Tommy is less so, but he’s not as vital to the plot, really.Ĭhristie can’t quite seem to decide where she’s going with this novel, and it shows in a haze of underdeveloped characters spewing out tracts of unintelligible dialogue. ![]() There are some genuinely creepy moments in this tale, and Tuppence remains an interesting character (Christie always liked writing strong people, as evidenced by her novels written under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott).
