It is World War II, and while the RAF struggles to keep the Luftwaffe at bay, Britain faces an even more sinister threat from "the enemy within"—Nazis posing as ordinary citizens.
With pressure mounting, the intelligence service appoints two unlikely spies, Tommy and Tuppence Beresford. Their mission: to seek out a man and a woman from among the colorful guests at Sans Souci, a seaside hotel. But this assignment is no stroll along the promenade—N and M have just murdered Britain's finest agent and no one at all can be trusted. . . .

As always, Agatha Christie brings to light the evils present in human nature in a plot filled with quirky characters and plenty of wit. This is one of my favorites.

I enjoyed this book because it was simple to follow. Yet, for most of the story, there was not a whole lot of action or suspense. I was expecting some of the main characters to be killed off, but nothing like that happened. The plot itself seemed a little hard to believe. The ending was quite cleverly done, but there was a whole lot of waiting to get there. This book did help me understand better the feelings of people at that time during the war. Many people were afraid of spies or invasions by Germany. There was racism and irrational ideas toward Germans. People often misjudge others simply because there is a war going on. The distinction between who the real enemies are and those who are simply part of a country becomes blurred. I would not say this book was as good as The Mousetrap or And Then There Were None, simply because it took too long to develop. I would not recommend this book if the reader is looking for thrills and suspense. However, it is an easy book to follow and can be very entertaining at times.

This was a boring book, it's hard to believe Agatha Christie wrote it.
