“N or M?” is a detective novel by Agatha Christie featuring her recurring characters, Tommy and Tuppence Beresford. The novel is set during World War II and follows the Beresfords as they become embroiled in a plot to uncover a pair of enemy agents, known only by the codename “N” and “M.”
The story begins with Tommy and Tuppence, now middle-aged, being approached by British intelligence to assist in identifying the agents, who are believed to be operating in a seaside town. The Beresfords take on the task, posing as a vacationing couple to blend in with the locals and gather information.
As they investigate, Tommy and Tuppence encounter a diverse cast of characters, including the eccentric residents of the boarding house where they are staying and the secretive guests at the nearby Sans Souci hotel. They must decipher cryptic messages, uncover hidden identities, and navigate dangerous situations to uncover the identities of “N” and “M” before they can carry out their mission.
The novel is a classic example of Christie’s skill at crafting intricate plots and memorable characters. It is also notable for its wartime setting, which adds an extra layer of tension and intrigue to the story. Through Tommy and Tuppence’s adventures, Christie explores themes of loyalty, patriotism, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
