M ou N? (Tommy and Tuppence, #3)
Agatha Christie
No auge da Segunda Guerra, um agente secreto britânico é assassina¬do por uma dupla de espiões nazistas infiltrados na Inglaterra. Suas últimas palavras são a pista para elu¬cidar o mistério de sua morte: “M ou N. Sans Souci”. A Inteligência desco¬bre que M e N são as iniciais do casal de assassinos e Sans Souci é o nome de uma pensão no litoral inglês. O caso precisa ser resolvido com rapidez e os agentes perfeitos são o casal Tommy e Tuppence Beresford. Já na meia-idade, eles estão acima de qualquer suspeita. Sua missão é encontrar os culpados em meio aos hóspedes da Sans Souci. “M ou N” é o terceiro livro da série liderada pelo intrépido casal de investigadores Tommy & Tuppence, criada por Agatha Christie. A dupla precisa lem¬brar a todo momento que o perigo é iminente e todos são suspeitos. Eles mergulham nas vidas, dramas e mistérios dos demais hóspedes da pousada, personagens inesquecíveis, caracteriza¬dos com as doses certas de humor, suspense e críti¬ca social que se tornaram a marca registrada da Rainha do Crime.

"Cut out the compliments," said Tuppence. "I'm admiring myself a good deal, so there's no need for you to chime in.”
Unlike "By The Pricking of My Thumbs", this one is a typical Tommy & Tuppence novel - full of mystery, spies, war, Secret Service, and the likes. They are not my favorite Christie detectives, but I usually enjoy their novels. I love the relationship between them, the complicity, the way they compliment each other, and how, even when aging (btw, the only recurring detectives who do), they still go out to help their country, to solve mysteries, and put themselves in harm's way. I absolutely LOVE Tuppence, who, once again, is the star of the novel - she is not content in being a 'stay at home and wait for the husband' kind of wife, while Tommy is out solving mysteries and being in the center of events. She is clever, resourceful, fearless, kind, and funny. What's not to love?
For the very first time, I was able to uncover the true culprits before the reveal (I never felt so clever haha), but that only enhanced my experience. Because of it, I could see the cleverly hidden crumbs Agatha laid through the story so when things were finally revealed, I could appreciate it in full. I still love to be made a fool creating all sorts of theories only to have them blow up in my face in the end, though.
