This is one of Agatha Christie short stories featuring Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, husband and wife in which they run a PI business. Tommy and Tuppence are very witty and quick with each other which makes them a very enjoyable couple. Every time I read a story of them I know I'm going to get a good laugh out of them. The mystery is easy to figure out, but it's the play of T&T in which I enjoy the most. This short story finds T&T (As I'm known to call them) Have receive a blue envelop of which has information of international importance hidden beneath the stamp, but there not the only ones that are interested in it, it seems that the Russian Mob is also, and Tommy seems to get himself tangled up in it. Like I said the mystery is easy to solve it's Tommy and Tuppence and their quick wit, funny lines which reminds me of the way my husband and I are. I think we've all got a little bit of T&T in us

** spoiler alert ** Tommy y Tuppence Beresford esperan ansiosos una carta de Rusia, color azul, que puede contener información de importancia internacional oculta debajo del sello. La carta es anticipada por algo más que los Beresford, y deben luchar para evitar que la información llegue a las manos equivocadas.Cuando recibieron la carta de Rusia, recibió la visita de una persona sospechosa, quien lo confundió con Mister Theodore Blunt y se llamaba Charles Bower, que les contó una historia bastante increíble que parecía una trampa... luego llegó un detective más formal llamado inspector Dymchurch que dijo que la visita anterior era un espía que buscaba robarle la carta. Le sugirió que no fuera a la cita que le había hecho y que se quedará con él en la oficina cuidando.Tommy y Tuppence sospecharon y dijeron que estarían alertas. Al anochecer Tommy fue secuestrado y dormido por la segunda persona que lo visitó, estaban buscando como locos la carta azul.Al despertar vio como ambas personas estaban buscando la carta y pensaron que la carta la tenía Tuppence, quien en su momento se presentó como la secretaria. Entonces Tommy fue obligado a que escribiriera una carta para que pudieran darle la carta a un tercer cómplice. Esta carta era parte del plan para alertar a Tuppence para que fuera sin la carta, que fue enviada por la tarde, y sobre todo con un detective para arrestar a los 3 ladrones rusos.

This was a cute story of Tommy and Tuppence and the Sinister Stranger which it turns out to be a bad guy in the employ of a Russian Mob guy during WWII. Tommy and Tuppence pull the wool over their eyes.
