Produktbeschreibung

Partners in Crime is a delightful collection of short stories by Agatha Christie, first published in 1929. It features Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, a dynamic husband-and-wife detective duo. This book is a follow-up to The Secret Adversary, where readers were first introduced to Tommy and Tuppence. In Partners in Crime, the Beresfords take over an international detective agency and are given a series of cases to solve. Each story in the collection is a different mystery, and part of the fun lies in the Beresfords' playful approach-they emulate famous fictional detectives in each story. Through this homage, Christie gives readers a chance to enjoy gentle parodies of popular detective figures of her time, like Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. The stories vary in tone and style, showcasing Christie's versatility in crafting suspenseful, humorous, and inventive mysteries. Tommy and Tuppence's chemistry, humor, and shared enthusiasm for sleuthing make Partners in Crime a charming addition to Christie's work, adding a lighter, more playful spin to her detective fiction.

Rezensionen

'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.'
Times Literary Supplement
