| | Partners in Crime: Tommy & Tuppence (series) |
 | | Agatha Christie's second novel introduced the two characters who the author would later claim to be her own favorites: Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, in the 1922 book The Secret Adversary. | | | Many years later, Christie would admit that even she couldn't remember on whose work she had based some of the stories, but it hardly matters, because they are delightful in their own right. | | | Christie's next book starring the couple, Partners in Crime (1929), is a collection of short stories in which the author gave the couple mysteries to solve fashioned in the style of Christie's contemporaries. |

| | Agatha Christie |
| | It is humorous and sweet, and has affinities in its approach to stories in The Listerdale Mystery, such as the title tale (1925) and "The Manhood of Edward Robinson" (1924), the latter story appearing immediately after the magazine publication of the Partners in Crime stories in late 1924. | | | Others, such as the tales in The Listerdale Mystery, are more to be classified as "ingenious tales involving mystery and adventure" than as pure detective stories. | | | I was hoping for one of Christie's brilliant plot devices... |

| | This book effectively combines the dark deeds of the author's later books with the sense of fun of the earlier ones which can sometimes be lacking in the later Christies. | | | I am reminded of the sort of ingenuity that Christie utilizes in a late Miss Marple Mystery, Nemesis, written around this same period. | | | Still, I gave this one four stars not five because I felt it dragged a bit at times. |

| | Tommy and Tuppence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Tommy and Tuppence are two fictional detectives, recurring characters in the work of Agatha Christie. | | | Their other appearances were in Partners in Crime, a 1929 collection of short stories (each reminiscent of another writer's work); N or M?, a 1940s espionage novel; By the Pricking of My Thumbs; and Postern of Fate, the last novel Christie ever wrote (although not the last to be published). | | | The first time Tommy and Tuppence occurred in a Christie novel was in The Secret Adversary (1922). |

| | As with other BBC adaptations of Agatha Christie's work, the Tommy and Tuppence stories presented in Partners in Crime appear to be quite faithful to the original sources (The Secret Adversary and the collection of short stories also titled Partners in Crime). | | | Actually, there's probably some justification for problems in the plot of "The Secret Adversary"; the novel of the same name that it was based on was only Christie's second novel, published in 1922. | | | Partners in Crime is strictly for the most completionist of Agatha Christie fans, or for those who have read the Tommy and Tuppence novels and stories and find them entertaining. |

| | Large Print Reviews - By the Pricking of My Thumbs |
| | What all four detectives do share in common is a sense of unceasing curiosity, a knack for knowing when something doesn't seem 'quite right', and an innate ability to ferret out the truth. | | | Tommy and Tuppence Beresford are two of Agatha Christie's most overlooked detectives. | | | While Miss Marple and Poirot both have age and experience on their side, when it comes to detective work, Tommy and Tuppence have a willingness to meet danger straight on, and they have each other to lean upon when the going gets difficult. |

| | Golden Age Mysteries - Tommy and Tuppence's adopted child |
| | If I recall correctly, the only book following the one you cited was the last one, which came out twenty years later in the sixties. | | | Christie went back to Tommy and Tuppence in her later days, and wrote two further novels featuring them: "By The Pricking of My Thumbs" in the late sixties, and the awful "Postern of Fate" that turned to be both the couple's and Agatha's last bow. | | | In a world where there no distinction can be made between literature and other forms of writing (this e-mail, for instance, is as finely crafted a work as Hamlet), truth cannot be found, and the solution, when it comes, will inevitably be nonsensical. |
