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: Wonderful
Review: Tommy and Tuppence are what one would get if Poirot and Marple married...(and then knocked off 30 years)... These charactes are a bored couple who desire to give up the doldrums of normal life to go fight crime. The husband is a bit of a straight man and the wife is a witty hellcat. They often attempt to solve crimes using the M.O. (method of opperation) of famous litereary detectives...with varrying degrees of sucess... However, even when they dont solve the crime its still a delightful romp... this book is set up into about 17 short stories...each one a new adventure that will leave you satisfied... Well Done Ms. Christie.
