Tommy and Tuppence know that Jane Finn was carrying top secret documents when she disappeared five years ago. What they don't know is that a killer is targeting a sinister older woman because she knows all about Jane. And soon Tommy and Tuppence are themselves in grave danger.

Editorial reviews
Originally published in 1922, the story finds Tuppence and Tommy reacquainting themselves and grappling with various spies in their first adventure. While neither a very well-known nor very well-respected series, the two are rather cute, and Penelope Dellaporta portrays a sense of this without going over the edge. She gives an enthusiastic narration, and if her rendition of an American accent occasionally becomes distracting, she otherwise bounds happily around this complex story, admirably tackling the many different forces that were part of England between the Wars. She does an especially effective job with the spirited Tuppence, although when the plot falls into the particularly improbable, she is unable to raise it with her narration.
Not one of her great mysteries though, but immersive reading. A fun, cheeky, genuine 1920s story with moments of seriousness that pulls you into another time…IF you like that sort of thing.

The story was a disappointment, as it quickly turned into a Victorian romance, below Ms Christy’s usual style. It seemed like a filler between good mysteries. Well, I’m no author, so perhaps my opinion should be taken very lightly. It’s easy to criticize. I enjoyed it generally, and appreciate it.
Silly romantic story, noot her best, but reading was really delightful.

The story is pleasantly convoluted. The naiveté of the principals is charming.
This is not today's hard-edged mystery.

What made the experience of listening to The Secret Adversary the most enjoyable?
As always, an excellent story from our Queen of Crime, but truly terrible narration. Try to rise above itTerrible narrator
