 Tommy and Tuppence, two bright young things recently demobbed from WWI activities, meet by chance and sit down to discuss their lives over a cup of tea. Neither have fared well in the post-war world, but that hasn't dimmed Tuppence's sangfroid. Prodded by Tuppence, the two decide to start list themselves as "Young Adventurers, Ltd:" and put a notice in the Times: 
 Two young adventurers for hire. Willing to do anything, go anywhere. Pay must be good. No unreasonable offer refused. 
 And thus their fantastic, enjoyable adventure into the (totally unrealistically portrayed) world of espionage begins. 
 ...And that's all I'm going to post here. 
 The rest of my (rather verbose) review is posted over here at Booklikes. 
 Why? Because I disapprove of GoodReads' new policy of censorship.
