Sadly, this was her last book. The story ties up the ends of Tommy and Tuppence lives, detailing the exploits of the children and friends encountered throughout the series. Contradictions, pointless passages and characters, completely wretched dialogue, I really can't see how this got published. The last of the Tommy and Tuppence books from Ms. Christie and I have to say the worst. Not even sure why she wrote it--and I rather wish I had not wasted my time reading it...Forewarned is forearmed: POSTERN OF FATE was the last book Christie wrote, and is and generally conceded to be her worst (actually, she was dictating into a tape recorder at this time, and had been doing so since the late 1960s, which accounts for the rather conversational tone of the later novels). Everything is already revealed during the course of the story and there is no additional stuff behind it except who was whose sister and so on, to glue it all together.I can't give it two stars because it's Tommy and Tuppence, and I am very fond of them. While rustling through a copy of [Will someone PLEASE ( I BEG OF YOU!) The ending is lackluster with no twist or even resolution and a great deal of the novel is long dialogues that bored me to death. Tommy and Tuppence are back, having just moved into a new house, and they unearth a cold case mystery dating back 60 years of the murder of a beautiful pre-WWI spy. While rustling through a copy of The Black Arrow, Tuppence comes upon a series of apparently random underlinings. Along with the property, they have inherited some worthless bric-a-brac, including a collection of antique books. The story began with Tom and Tuppence moving to a new place, organizing books and got to to discuss about the war.It is a historical crime story, taking us to the mysteries of a particular series of murders during WWII. Unlike Miss Marple and Poirot, who start out elderly and retired (respectively) in the 1920/30s and age very little for the rest of Dame Agatha's career, Tommy and Tuppence age believably over the years. Lady, you can't call people "yellow" unless thI can't give it two stars because it's Tommy and Tuppence, and I am very fond of them. People seem to really dislike this one, but if you go into it understanding it is the last of the books she wrote during the period where her mental faculties were failing, when she was writing things like 'Elephants Can Remember,' it really isn't completely horrible. Ugh. Exciting.I went into this book with rock-bottom expectations, since I had read people's Goodreads reviews and previously decided to skip this, the last book Agatha Christie ever wrote. It was dreadful for anyone to have written, but especially Christie. Interesting enough as a story though it links a little witPeople seem to really dislike this one, but if you go into it understanding it is the last of the books she wrote during the period where her mental faculties were failing, when she was writing things like 'Elephants Can Remember,' it really isn't completely horrible. However, I must say it's the worst Christie novel I've ever read. Must have been just Tommy & Tuppence and the village setting.
Postern of Fate: A Tommy and Tuppence Mystery (Tommy and Tuppence Mysteries Book 5) - Kindle edition by Christie, Agatha. Which is why I hated this book so much. The "young adventurers" were introduced in Christie's second novel, The Secret Adversary (1922) so it is fitting that she wrote one last novel about them at the end of her career, having already penned a last one for Poirot (Curtain) and Miss Marple (Sleeping Murder). Did she even have an editor for this? The story began with Tom and Tuppence moving to a new place, organizing books and got to to discuss about the war.A very tedious, dull and disappointing finale for the Tommy and Tuppence series. Which is why I hated this book so much. We’d love your help.
Unfortunately, the dialogues repeat the same things all and over (sometimes even characters themselves realize that they've spoken of something already), revelations are revealed several times, all information is repeated, and all this is mixed with tons of digI usually don't review volumes from huge series of similar novels, but I feel I should warn people against this one book. Ugh. Otherwise, it's racist. Our main duo was boring, and I'd adored them in all the earlier books.“You don't appreciate a faithful husband when you've got one,' said Tommy.“I suppose without curiosity a man would be a tortoise.
