The Agatha Christie Reading Group discussion

I've read several different books from this era and none have this profusive use of slang. I've looked at both of my non-fiction books on A.C.' s works and neither even mention it. Did anyone talk like this? Using this much slang? I call it slang because that is my Dictionary's description of these words, not mine.

I do love the 2 main characters and the set up for the detective agency is done well. I really feel the setting in this book due the hardships of the Young Adventurers.
I was excited to see thar I have a couple of seasons of Partners in Crime on Amazon. (Waiting to read before I watch. I dont know how closely if at all they follow the mysteries in the book/s.)

The language is pretty accurate of the bright young things of the period - some of the other writers of the time also use very much the same language. As to the TV series - not watched it, but David Walliams who plays Tommy (if it is this series) is much too old - they are meant to be very early twenties, not late fortyish. Puts me off watching I'm afraid, but I get very annoyed when people play around with plots (don't get me started on the one that shoehorned Miss Marple into A Secret at Chimneys...)

I am next in line for a book I have on hold at my local library and noticed that this was available. The only other Tommy and Tuppence I have read is By the Pricking of My Thumbs, which I enjoyed, so I decided to check it out. Also, got Murder at the Vicarage. Hope I don't get a notification for a couple of days that the book I have on hold is suddenly available.

Finished reading by Agatha Christie
