Partners in Crime is the second book in the Tommy and Tuppence series by Agatha Christie. It’s a short story collection tied together by an overarching plot: Tommy and Tuppence are hired to pose as a detective firm in order to ensnare a Russian spy ring. They end up solving quite a few mysteries in between spy-hunting, playing a game of famous detective-imitation along the way. I’ve, er, never heard of most of those detectives, but I’m certainly going to track down as many as I can– they seem like a good read! A blind detective? A priest detective? A detective who fiddles with string a lot? Page-turners, surely. (If only I could find copies of them.)
