Partners in Crime

A Tommy and Tuppence Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: Hugh Fraser

Agatha Christie’s Tommy and Tuppence Beresford are Partners in Crime—or rather partners in crime solving—and must demonstrate their deductive skills in a wide range of confounding cases after agreeing to take over Blunt’s International Detective Agency.

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""?

Loved it. So good

I loved the way different detectives and characters were brought into the story as well as the other stories being brought along.

let the adventures begin!

loved that you never knew what to expect. Good mysteries and light hearted. very entertaining for our road trips.

Really, quite fun.

Classic Agatha Christie with an added twist of humor. Hugh Frasier does an excellent job.

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?

Cocktails and crime

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.
