About this listen

Tommy and Tuppence Beresford are restless for adventure, so when they are asked to take over Blunt's International Detective Agency, they leap at the chance.

Their first case is a success - the triumphant recovery of a pink pearl. Other cases soon follow - a stabbing on Sunningdale golf course; cryptic messages in the personal columns of newspapers; and even a box of poisoned chocolates. But can they live up to their slogan of "Any case solved in 24 hours"?

Great characters, great stories

Not quite as good as Secret Adversary, the first entry in the Tommy and Tuppence series, but still an utterly charming and intriguing listen.

one of the most fun AC books ive read

this was one of the most fun feeling AC books ive read out of the 50 or so ive read by her. the mood is light especially compared to the mood in some of the books she wrote during & after WWII. definitely read it. its got a structure that would lend itself well to a HBO mini series lol

Blunt's Brilliant Detectives

Would you consider the audio edition of Partners in Crime to be better than the print version?

I enjoyed both. I think I liked the book better because I was able to picture the two actors from the BBC adaptations. But Hugh Fraser is a wonderful narrator and brought a nice, light touch to the novel.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I wasn't on the edge of my seat, but it wasn't that kind of book. It's a collection of short stories featuring the delightful Tommy and Tuppence Beresford. But each story was nicely written and solved.

What about Hugh Fraser’s performance did you like?

I love the way he portrayed the interplay between this charming couple. He had a nice way of capturing their playful banter.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Good, but predictable

Characters have wonderful chemistry, humor. Plotlines are occasionally predictable or contrived. Reader brilliant. Recommended to those who just want to have fun.

Rollicking fun!

What a fun set of little puzzles Agatha Christie arranged for Tommy and Tuppence! I thoroughly enjoyed the witty banter and references to many other famous literary sleuths, but I love the warmth and heart between the couple to ground the story.

My favorite Christie detectives...

Tommy and Tuppence are my favorite detectives among Agatha Christie's well-developed pool of mystery solvers. They are so charming, bright and fun, brave and interesting. Though I generally prefer a novel over short stories, this is a continuing story. It is fun to see them mimic the techniques and characteristics of various well-known literary detectives, as they develop their skill and their business.
