Book description
Agatha Christie's complete Tommy and Tuppence short story collection,
reissued with a striking cover designed to appeal to the latest
generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers.
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. '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 Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890
and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. Her
first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written towards the end of
the First World War, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, who was to become
the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. She
is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold
over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in
over 100 foreign countries. She is the author of 80 crime novels and
short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary
Westmacott.
