The second half of this book was the most enjoyable Christie I've read so far. While Tommy and Tuppence aren't as enjoyable to me as Miss Marple, I thought they made a pretty fun duo. I quite enjoyed seeing their lives and following them along for the ride. And the second half of the story was a lot fun. Enough, in fact, that I contemplated giving this book four stars.

But the first half dragged for me. I couldn't get into it and I had to force myself to keep picking up the book. It wasn't bad because I did like the characters and the overall story, but I was just so bored. It took much too long to become interesting.

This book has made me want to read more Tommy and Tuppence, perhaps to see if they have a better plot because I was quite fond of them in this. Worth it for the second half, but I'm still not as impressed with Agatha Christie as I wanted to be.
