Oh, the hijinks that Tommy and Tuppence get themselves into. A fun, quick read.

N or M?, ( El misterio de Sans Souci) 1941
Tommy y Tuppence Beresford 3
Agatha Christie
@harpercollins
Tras el estallido de la IIGM, Tommy y Tuppence Beresford se mueren por contribuir en la defensa del país, como hicieron antaño.
Pero los años no pasan en balde y se les considera demasiado "mayores" para ciertos trabajos, como les recuerda su hija Deborah que trabaja descifrando códigos.
Pero los Beresford no se rinden y finalmente Tommy acepta un aburrido encargo ministerial en los páramos escoceses mientras Tuppence se ofrece voluntaria para limpiar hospitales. Peeeero..... nada es lo que parece y nuestros intrépidos aventureros terminan coincidiendo en un apacible pensión de una ciudad costera de segunda línea.
Allí, la inteligencia británica está al acecho del "enemigo interior", espías nazis infiltrados entre los ciudadanos británicos, dispuestos a facilitar la invasión alemana. Tommy y Tuppence deberán afinar su olfato y descubrir quién se oculta tras las iniciales de N y M.
Me lo he pasado genial releyendo esta aventura de los Beresford, que como siempre, no se detienen ante nada para llegar al fondo del problema.

Summary
An older couple, retired secret agents, are brought back to sniff out the identity of a German agent operating in England during WWII.
Review
This is one of the first Agatha Christie books I ever read; perhaps the first. As I settled into it again decades later, I recalled the comforting familiarity of Tommy and Tuppence, the book’s married protagonists. I didn’t recall much of the plot, and frankly, plot is not the book’s strong point. Nominally a thriller, it’s much more cozy than thrilling, and Tommy and Tuppence’s relationship is what stands out. Read it for that, and not for a mystery that doesn’t really hold up to close examination.
It’s nice to read something other than Poirot and Marple from Ms. Christie, and the characters here are perfectly likeable. Even if the story won’t stay in your mind long, Tuppence and Tommy may linger.

Lots of fun!! Mysterious wasn’t super twisty but the characters were a lot of fun. Really interesting perspectives on the war.

Tommy and Tuppence are not my favorite Christie characters and I had the culprit pinned way too early but this was still enjoyable and valuable for my own research purposes.
