This is a collection of short mysteries in which Tommy and Tuppence work their way through posing as detectives owning their own agency, as asked by Scotland Yard, to catch a mean suspect. Tommy and Tuppence are wonderful characters. They have great humor and love to pick on each other. I really enjoyed the teasing of each other. And this lovely couple act out different detectives for each case, based on what they know of the case. You really get a small glimps of how they see other detectives in the books.

Fun short mystery stories starring a married couple running a detective agency as a front for the Secret Service, but solving bona fide cases as well. They're not meant to be taken too seriously, and the overall tone is as light as a case involving murder could be. Every story they try role playing as famous detectives, which adds to the humor (including Poirot, which I found amusing as it's a bit of a shameless self-advertisement from Christie). If you love quick murder mysteries and married couple banter, you'll enjoy this!

This book was so fun! I enjoyed the way Christie wrote all the short mysteries into the bigger story. Also, I said it before, but I’ll say it again: I love Tommy and Tuppence!! All I want in life now is my own Tommy.
