Teaser Tuesday

Published on by Margaret

My teaser today is from Agatha Christie’s The Secret Adversary, which I’ve just started to read. This is the first Tommy and Tuppence mystery first published in 1922. It begins:

“Tommy, old thing!”

“Tuppence, old bean!”

The two young people greeted each other affectionately, and momentarily blocked the Dover Street Tube exit in doing so. The adjective “old” was misleading. Their united ages would certainly not have totalled forty-five. (Kindle Loc 56-61)

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly event hosted by MizB of Should be Reading.

  4. Here is my teaser: “I Remember Nothing” by Nora Ephron

    Page 63

    “1. Journalists sometimes make things up.
    2. Journalists sometimes get things wrong.
    3. Almost all books that are published as memoirs were initially written as novels, and then the agent/editor said, “This might work better as a memoir.”

  6. Hi Margaret,

    I have never read any of the Tommy and Tuppence novels, although I do recall watching the ‘Partners In Crime’ series on television.

    I understand that ‘The Secret Adversary’ was made into a full length feature film, have you seen it?
