A review by vincederr
Postern of Fate by Agatha Christie

3.0

The finale book in the Tommy & Tuppence series. In this book the Beresfords have moved into the countryside and are settling into an old home. While sorting through some antique books Tuppence come across a code that spells out: “Mary Jordan did not die naturally.” Sparked by the cryptic note our heroes are off trying to figure out who killed Mary Jordan. I must admire the fact that Agatha wrote this book at 82 years old, but on the other hand it shows. This book is not her best work and is my least favorite T&T book. T&T are just as fun and playful as ever, but the plot just isn’t there. I kept asking why do I care? Finishing this book was a slight chore. I was entertained by T&T, but ultimately the book falls woefully below Agatha’s best.
