Before Nick and Nora Charles, before Jonathan and Jennifer Hart-Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, the crime-solving couple created in the 1920s by Agatha Christie, set the gold standard for mixing marriage and mystery. Elegantly attired in stunning period outfits, the fun-loving and flirtatious couple thrive on matching wits with criminals and each other. This collection of episodes from the popular TV series chronicles their partnership from its beginnings in "The Scarlet Adversary" through their days as "Partners In Crime" and proprietors of Blunt's Detective Agency.
Editor's Note
From the mind of mystery maven Agatha Christie comes what is considered to be the original crime-solving couple, Tommy and Tuppence Beresford. Christie redefined the conventions of the mystery genre with the creation of Tommy and Tuppence, providing a prototype for many male/female detective teams that followed. Set in the 1920s, this popular television series stars James Warwick and Francesca Annis as the eccentric upper-class couple who take over a floundering detective agency and delight in solving any case that comes their way. This 3-volume set features the episodes "The Secret Adversary," "The Affair of the Pink Pearl," "The House of Lurking Death," "Finessing the King," and "The Clergyman's Daughter."
