 THE SECRET ADVERSARY summary
The young and lively Tommy and Tuppence (portrayed in Secret Adversary and Partners In Crime) not the middle aged couple the later novels made them to be.
"Agatha Christie's THE SECRET ADVERSARY is her first full blown attempt at the 'thriller' novel, which was an extremely popular format in the year it was published (1922).
What THE SECRET ADVERSARY is is a parody of the thrillers that were currently so popular.

 Large Print Reviews - The Secret Adversary, by Agatha Christie - Book Review
The Secret Adversary, by Agatha Christie is a Tommy and Tuppence mystery.
The Secret Adversary is set in the days after the end of World War I, Tommy has recently been demobbed from military service, and Tuppence who had worked in a hospital during the war is back on her own.
The Secret Adversary is a lighthearted, yet complex thriller about a pair of zany 'kids' who manage to skate through danger like it doesn't exist and who are able, without hardly any real skills, to dethrone a master criminal.

Tommy and Tuppence were sparkling creations by Agatha Christie (and their ability to transfer deliciously to the small screen is also a proven fact.) But sadly they were never given as strong mystery material as Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot were and have, therefore, languished on the literary sidelines to a great extent.
Their first appearance, in the Secret Adversary, is a good example of this problem.
Christie is weakest when politics are involved and the story is hopelessly naive with the fate of the world being controlled by one man, Mr.

Asked by a government man to help find out what happened to a missing young woman reported to be carrying secret and potentially explosive papers, the young adventurers soon find themselves in the middle of a huge mystery.
Originally published in 1922, The Secret Adversary is a true Agatha Christie tale.
Long lost cousins, secret identities and menacing adversaries are just a hint of what the reader will find in The Secret Adversary.

 The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie: A searchable online version at The Literature Network
In this sparkling debut of Christie's beloved crime-solving duo, "Tuppence" Cowley and her old friend Tommy Beresford put an ad in the paper: "Two young adventurers for hire." But they get more than they bargained for when their first job lands them in the middle of an international incident.
I had wondered a little at this character before and was surprised to notice that in one novel she mentions two of her books, titles that Christie actually wrote, as having the same plotline.
I think that shes must be one of the best criminal novel writer in history.I love her works such as "They came to Baghdad", "the Big Four","Curtain", etc.I had a collection of her novels.

"The Secret Adversary" is not a pure mystery novel, however.
There is the hunt for a secret document that will determine the fate of the great nations of the world.
There are the apparent adversaries ("The German" is one of them), and the incredible eavesdropping and kidnapping situations.

Jane survives the shipwreck, but the stranger dies, the girl is kidnapped, and the document is forgotten until a labor dissension starts in England; if these papers are found in the wrong hands, it would result in catastrophe for the government.

I was quite unable to believe the underlying thesis that the disclosure of a secret wartime treaty would bring about instant revolution and anarchy in between-the-wars Britain.
