Agatha Christie "Partners in crime"
Tommy works for some kind of a agency which tells them to run a detective agency to
catch a Russian spy. Tuppence was delighted because before that she was very bored and
she had nothing to do.
Before catching the spy they start working as real detectives. They are pretty good
at solving mysterious cases because they are great fans of detective novels. Tommy and
Tuppence like to role play. Every time they have a costumer they parody all kinds of
famous fictional detectives from Dr Thorndyke to Hercule Poirot. Tommy is Poirot in the
last chapter when he catches the spy.
All mini stories were great but my favourite one was called The Unbreakable
Alibi. A man comes to them with a request to outsmart his future wife. The woman had
told him that she had been in two places at the same time and she had unbreakables alibis
to prove it. Tommy and Tuppence found it very difficult to prove that she was not in one
of the places. Finally, they discovered that she had a twin sister.
