Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie's second novel, The Secret Adversary, set in London in 1919 is brought to sparkling new life by Audiofile Earphones Award-winning narrator Alison Larkin....
Tommy and Tuppence are charming, broke, and in desperate need of work. They decide to set up Young Adventurers Ltd. - "willing to do anything, go anywhere". They are soon caught up in a dastardly plot to overthrow the British government.
This fresh and "hugely entertaining" listen from the English American joined with Christie's brilliantly suspenseful storytelling results in a deliciously authentic audio experience.

Critic reviews
Perhaps because Alison Larkin was raised in England. And maybe because she has been a successful actress her accents are wonderful--and so authentic.
Most important Larkin brings each character and each dramatic turn in this exciting story to new life!
I am certain Agatha Christie would be delighted that such a talented and perfect narrator has been found for her brilliant work!

I adore Agatha Christie mysteries, so I dont know what went wrong here and I will presume it is me..this doesn't put me off of A.C., I just need to pay more attention to the summary and listen to a sample first.
Must be just me
