Partners in Crime

Rating:
Summary: An enjoyable collection of mysteries.
Review: A collection of short stories featuring Christie's married team of Tommy and Tuppence Beresford. The stories are derived from Tommy and Tuppence being asked to take over a detective agency that the authorities believe is an information drop for the Russians. Christie poked a little fun at mystery writers and their counterparts by having the Beresford's take on the persona of a different, fictional detective for each story including Christie's famous, Belgium detective, Hercule Poirot.

Summary: GREAT BOOK!!!!
Review: I love Agatha christie, but these are my favorite characters and book of her's. Tommy and Tuppence are great characters. I love the way Tuppence is portrayed, especially since it first came out in 1929!

Summary: Fun!
Review: I think the other reviewers have pretty much summed the book up. It's really a delight to read. The characters are hilarious and the plot exciting. I only wish that there were more Tommy and Tuppence books by Agatha Christie. I think I've read them all, and they're the only Christie books I can get into.

Summary: Putting the fun into sleuthing
Review: No one does it better than Tommy and Tuppence. Amateur sleuths in their own way, they were not to be underestimated because both have their own ways to solve crimes, and even more interesting banters in between crime-solving. These shorties will make you love them and wish that the Queen would have written more of them in the past.

Summary: Agatha Christie's PARTNERS IN CRIME
Review: The detectives in this book are none other than Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, a lively husband-and-wife team who enjoy adventure.
PARTNERS IN CRIME opens as most Tommy and Tuppence books do -- they are bored with life and crave adventure. Their wants are answers when The Chief visits them, and informs them of a failing detective agency. The Chief asks them to take over the failing detective agency and look for a mastermind criminal whose symbol is the number 16. Tommy and Tuppence agree, and the result is adventure and many humorous experiences.
PARTNERS IN CRIME is a great example of Agatha Christie's lighter side. She placed some very funny material in the book, making it very enjoyable. I would recommend it to any Christie fan.
PARTNERS IN CRIME is also worth reading just for the last line in the book, delivered by Tuppence. She says something that will force the reader to smile and say, "Awww..."

Summary: Book of Excitement Andrew C.
Review: This book is a good book to read if you like mystery books. I would want someone else to read this so that they can understand that detectives do all they can to solve the crime. Tommy is like my sister's boyfriend. He's like a very shy and cautious person. While I was reading this book I could not believe that the mystery's were about divorce cases. Tommy and Tuppence are middle aged people who are married. Another reason I would reccomand this book is because it has a lot of humor and excitement. Its just a great book about a Russian mystery. I learned some things about the book. Im going to go get more of her mystery books from the library to read.

Summary: Good Book
Review: This book was so sweet amd so fun too. I like Agatha Chrisite books but sometimes she just wrote the same plot with different names and a different title. This book was original and pretty funny too.

Rating:
Summary: an excellent, entertaining read
Review: This is one of Christie's best efforts. Every story moves smoothly and is satisfying throughout til their expert conclusions. I really like her Tommy and Tuppence books. It's too bad she only wrote 5 of them, but this one I think is her finest. The 2 meld well together and even argue delightfully. A must addition to any Agatha collection. You will not be disappointed.

Summary: In the beginning
Review: Tommy & Tuppence Beresford take over a detective agency for Scotland Yard, and delve into a variety of mysteries, domestic and international. With almost every adventure, Christie users other literary detectives as inspirations for the Beresfords to solve crimes, including her own Hercule Poirot. I haven't read Christie in ages, and it was a delight to do so again. Her plotting is marvelous. My favorite thing about Agatha Christie's works is her ability to portray human nature in all its details, thereby providing clues to motives. I learn a lot from her books!
