By The Pricking Of My Thumbs


I must say I like Tommy and Tuppance. I liked watching them grow as a couple as well as individuals on the job.
Not my favorite book of the group but, entertaining just as well.
I like how Agatha Christie has put them in the scene of a nursing home. Here I seen how both see things and people in a different way.
I'm surprised that the story was written with just the one character reacting to other things in a job. And the other was following some  clue about a house. I gotta say when Tommy and Tuppance aren't together working, finding clues etc... makes a bit of a slow moving story. Bit boring I'm sorry to say.
Once Tommy was back in picture the story seemed to move on. Although he had to find Tuppance he kept a level head. 
I was a little confused about the house and who was living there and how the house was ever split. As I read the story I was sure a certain couple were the bad people. Only to find out at the end who really was bad. 
Of course Tuppance gets herself in a pickle but Tommy finds her and keeps her safe.

I give By the Pricking of My Thumbs 5 
Although a bit of a drag, still it's AC and I'm rooting for Tommy and Tuppance.
