Reading The Secret Adversary as most of the novels in the book I've seen as movies, and this one I have not. I really enjoyed The Secret Adversary and wonder if it had ever been made into a movie, it would have made a great one in my opinion. I had a hard time putting it down and often went back and read parts over again, just to "see" things again to set the stage clear in my head. I loved the characters and getting to know them, and put them in their proper place, the good guys and the bad ones too. I thought I knew who Mr Brown was, but I was wrong in the end. Truly another Agatha Christie master piece.
If you are a fan of mystery and drama you already know who Status Christie is. This Queen of mystery collection is very comprehensive. You are sure to enjoy the book with stories that have been made into movies and tv series. It's just great I highly recommend this book.
