Summary
Six short stories from the Queen of Crime, featuring our favourite young detectives, Tommy and Tuppence.
Tommy and Tuppence Beresford were restless for adventure, so when they were asked to take over Blunt’s International Detective Agency, they leapt at the chance.
After their triumphant recovery of a pink pearl, intriguing cases kept on coming their way: a stabbing on Sunningdale golf course; cryptic messages in the personal columns of newspapers; and even a box of poisoned chocolates.
Critic reviews
"Sherlock Holmes, John Thorndyke, Father Brown and even Poirot are amiably parodied, and once or twice the solution as well as the dialogue is deliberately facetious." (Times Literary Supplement)
‘Distinctly worthwhile." (New York Times)

Enjoyable escapades
Enjoyable escapades from T and T although at times they display genius akin to HP, but good fun all round. Hugh Fraiser excellent as always

Great story & performance but horrible structure
The chapters do not correspond to the real ones, the story's just randomly broken up into 6 chapters. Otherwise it would have been great.

Flows from crime to crime with ease.
Short elegant stories read beautifully. Not major crimes against the world but enjoyable every chapter.

Just marvellous!!!
Having Hugh Fraser as the narrator was such a pleasure! And Agatha has done it again! Tommy and Tuppence should be more visible on the cinema and TV.

Childish. Pleasant enough.
Pastiches of other golden age detectives. Enid Blyton level of writing. It was okay because Hugh Fraser makes everything good to listen to. Great storyteller.

Loved it
Excellently read by Hugh Fraser. A set of short stories about Tommy & Tuppence. Would have preferred each short story to have it's own chapter but this is an ongoing problem with audible, but that doesn't distract from the enjoyment of the stories & the quality of Hugh Fraser in the narration.
