I liked this mystery, but I think one needs more knowledge of 1920’s England than I do to really appreciate this book. There are a lot of political elements that I just didn’t get and was unwilling to research. There are also a lot of characters and locations, and several characters have multiple pseudonyms. As someone with trouble remembering names I had a tough time even though I was writing them down in a notebook to keep track. That said, if you don’t have trouble with names and are familiar with English politics, you’re likely to have a good time. The plot meanders a little too much, and the xenophobic comments are irritating. I think the book is at its best when Tommy and Tuppence are together as they play off each other really well - unfortunately they spend much of the book apart.
