About this audiobook
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 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.
