About this listen

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

‘Required reading.’
Books

‘Distinctly worthwhile.’
New York Times

‘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.’

This is quite hilarious in parts. Christie’s lesser known Tommy and Tuppence are heading up a detective agency in order to foil a spy. In order to gain credence they emulate the great detectives of history as they solve a number of cases. The funniest being Sherlock Holmes where Tommy even attempts to play the violin. Even Christie’s own Poirot doesn’t escape. This is a fun book of collected short stories and a nice easy listen.

A fun book of deduction

All of the short stories are excellent. Hugh Fraser's performance is as magnificent as ever. l especially enjoyed the final story which sees the fictional detective, Tommy Beresford, play the role of fictional detective, Hercule Poirot! It's like watching the fourth wall being breached as an onscreen actor turns to the audience and unexpectedly talks to it. l loved this book.

Great short stories.
