THE SECRET ADVERSARY

Popular narrator Nadia May has great fun reading Agatha Christie's second book, the first of five featuring the husband-and-wife detective team of Tommy and Tuppence Beresford. A lighthearted thriller that reads well even today, the book highlights Tommy and Tuppence, not yet married, as they thwart a malevolent plot to paralyze Great Britain through closely manipulated labor unrest. Nadia May reads with her usual charging enthusiasm, her British voice changing its pitch and cadence for male and female characters alike. She enlivens the repartee between the two leads, relishes the other characters and enjoys herself immensely. D.W. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/MAR 99]
