Discovering those great little gems know as Agatha Christie's short stories!

Great story!! The writing style is one that can appeal to any audience. At the mention of appeal, I would like to add this is a rather extremely entertaining investigation.This is my first book of the 'Tommy & Tuppence' series and I am glad that I got such a delightful introduction.I surely can't wait to read more of this duo' stories and get acquainted better with the characters and how they operate with one another.

** spoiler alert ** Tommy and Tuppence continue posing as Theodore Blunt and his assistant of the International Detective Agency. Their stunt in the previous case pays off and word of mouth bring the next case to their door. A reluctant young woman asks them to find a pearl that is missing from a pendant of a houseguest. It may just be lost or someone may have taken it. Tommy figures out that the maid stole it and hid it in a bar of soap when the maid is unable to open a door due to the slippery soap still on her hands.

This book is quite a good one. It is very interesting and a great example of the Tommy and Tuppence series of short stories. It is one of those quirky little tales and it wrapped up really well. It was good at giving us the clues we needed to solve the mystery with the couple and yet not give anything away until the end. While I recognize that Tommy and Tuppence stories are not for everyone, if you do enjoy them, this one is one of the best so far.

*4.5I loved this and would listen to it again! I love the red herring and the characters Tommy and Tuppence. This is my first Tommy and Tuppence mystery, and I'd like to read their series from the beginning.

A pink pearl has gone missing and Tommy and Tuppence are on the case! Clever and quick, I didn't have any idea who'd done what until Tommy ran in with the policeman and unfolded the plot.

Clever to set it up as the "little woman" pulling one over on the man... and then the man being right. But, too soon. Just too soon.
