N or M? by Agatha Christie
During the Second World War, Christie produced a staggering amount of work. Over the course of her career, she consistently produced at least one book, but in the late 1930s and early 1940s, she was producing two or even three. As an insurance policy “in case of my death,” she penned what she intended to be the final Poirot and Marple mystery in the early 1940s, and then she locked them away in a bank vault. She assigned the rights to her daughter for the Marple and her husband for the Poirot. The concept was that, in the event that she was to pass away, the money made from their posthumous publication would ensure the welfare of her loved ones.
The only book she produced throughout the conflict that is directly related to the conflict is N or M? In every other one, she totally disregards it. She revisits it, though not at the moment, in the latter 1940s. The book N or M? features Tommy and Tuppence, who appears frequently in her stories but are far less well-known than Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple.

Tommy and Tuppence Beresford are assigned the task of finding two Nazi spies who killed Britain’s senior spy during the worst days of World War II. Nazis disguised as regular civilians poses a dark menace to Britain during World War II, while the RAF battles to hold off the Luftwaffe.
The intelligence service recruits Tommy and Tuppence Beresford as two unlikely spies as demand mounts. Their objective was to locate a guy and a lady among the diverse visitors to the coastal hotel Sans Souci. The fact that N and M have killed Britain’s top agent and that nobody can be trusted makes this assignment anything but a leisurely stroll along the promenade.
