N or M? was published in 1941, in the midst of WWII, and, at the beginning of the book, Tommy and Tuppence are feeling their age. In N or M?, many years have passed, and the twins, Deborah and Derek, are both young adults. When we left Tommy and Tuppence, at the end of Partners in Crime, Tuppence had just announced to Tommy that she was pregnant (after ridding the world of an espionage ring). This is the third in the series, following The Secret Adversary and Partners in Crime. When I started figuring out which titles I had left, I realized that I had almost all of Tommy and Tuppence Beresford. I’ve finished Superintendent Battle and Colonel Race, and most of Marple (although I am saving Sleeping Murder for the end, because I’ve heard that it doesn’t suck). I long ago read And Then There Were None, along with all of the rest of the Poirot mysteries. This is the year that I will finish reading Agatha Christie, and what that means is that I have just a few left, and the ones that are left are not her best work.
