![]() ![]() Of course Tuppence is not to be involved and Tommy is to give her a cover story. This is less farfetched than it sounds, as Tommy is working on leads another operative has been investigating, before their untimely and very deliberate death. ![]() Two key operatives named N and M are Tommy’s targets. Yet things soon change for Tommy when a man from British Intelligence asks him to go down to Leahampton, a seaside resort in particular to go and stay at a guest house called San Souci, in order to identify German and British 5 th Columnists. Tuppence too has been refused nursing work and both are feeling fairly cheesed off that they are considered unfit for work, purely on the grounds of them being in their late 40s. N or M? (1941), the third Tommy and Tuppence Beresford novel, is not Christie’s best book by any means but one I have always been fond of, which made it all the more galling when this title was unfortunately massacred in its 2015 TV adaptation.īut on with the book itself, which begins with Tommy having been turned down for more war work. Sayers in The Wimsey Papers, Christie does not have Poirot or Miss Marple involved in war work or expressing their views on current events. During WW2 Christie’s work mostly does not directly refer to the conflict that was going on, except today’s read which is the exception. ![]()
