The Secret Adversary:
I did guess the villain, but it was still a fun rollicking adventure. I think Tommy and Tuppence are my favorite serial characters to flow from Ms. Christie's pen. They are old friends who met up again in the aftermath of WWI. They then fall head over heels into intrigue and adventure. B.J. Harrison's narration was spot on. I highly recommend this tale.
The Man in the Brown Suit:
Nice easy listen. Enjoyable characters. Had just about the perfect number of twists. Narrator was fabulous.
Now that all being said... It got a little unbelievable that EVERY male Anne meets wants to marry her! Even those much older than her! The auspicious circumstances which befell Anne also stretched the realm of plausible deniability.
I enjoyed it, but not one to ooh about to everyone you meet.
The Secret of Chimneys:
This is a such fun mystery! Even with dead bodies, it almost feels like a comedic cozy mystery. By the end you know what is going to happen, but you want to hear the characters say it for themselves. The narrator, Charles Armstrong, was perfect!
The Seven Dials Mystery:
This was a nce mystery. I would probably have enjoyed it more if I had not already listened to The Secret of Chimneys. Some of the characters had personality changes, and it just wasn't as fun. Still it was an enjoyable listen. The narrator was very nice.
