Agatha Christie "Partners in crime"
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.
I chose this book because I had not heard about these two before. At first I
thought that it cannot be as good as Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot stories but it is. I think
I like it even more than the other stories by Agatha Christie I have read because the
characters are very lively and humorous.
