From the Author of Death on the Nile, Murder on the Orient Express, and The Mousetrap . Agatha Christie's Partners in Crime is a delightful mix of cozy mystery and espionage, featuring the adventurous crime-solving duo Tommy and Tuppence Beresford. First published in 1929, this collection of Agatha Christie short stories blends classic intrigue with humor, romance, and thrilling deception. Now, at long last, it is in the public domain . Synopsis Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, bored with the humdrum routine of married life, leap at the chance to run a detective agency as part of an undercover mission for the British government. What starts as a simple assignment quickly turns into a whirlwind of intrigue, danger, and deception as they tackle a series of baffling cases—each inspired by famous detective novels of the time. From a missing pearl to an international spy ring, the Beresfords assume the styles of legendary sleuths, parodying everyone from Sherlock Holmes to Hercule Poirot. As they navigate tangled clues and unexpected twists, their wit, charm, and razor-sharp instincts prove that amateur detectives can be just as brilliant as the professionals. With its blend of historical dramas and playful literary homage, Partners in Crime is a clever and entertaining read that showcases Christie's skill in crafting fun murder mystery books filled with wit and suspense.
