The House of Lurking Death Audiobook Summary
Throwing on an almost convincing French accent, Tommy is determined to act the Great Detective Hanaud to his and Tuppence’s latest, lovely client. Miss Hargreaves has recently received a box of chocolates from nobody knows who, and, due to her dislike of chocolates, was the only one to not fall afoul of the arsenic-spiked treats. But, Miss Hargreaves is not the first recipient of such a gift; three other large country houses have received arsenic-laced chocolates. Miss Hargreaves is holding something back, and Tommy and Tuppence must take up residence at her house to discover the true culprit. But will they find out the truth in time?

A proper mystery!A lot of these Tommy & Tuppence shorts are kind of silly. I mean, one of the fun things about this collection is that it's just these two doing goofy stuff, flirt-fussing at each other, and still managing to solve a case or three. However, this is a twisty poisoning case worthy of Poirot or Marple.Or A.E.W. Mason's Inspector Hanaud? Because that's who the Beresfords attempt to copy this time around. Hanaud is played by Tommy, of course. And Tuppence acts as his assistant, Ricardo, who is (traditionally) left in the dark till the last minute.In case you're wondering what I'm talking about, in most of their short stories Tommy and Tuppence take on a new persona as Agatha Christie gives a nod to other authors' detectives. This was actually somewhat complex for a T&T short. A bit different, but a lot of fun.Originally published 1924 in The Sketch magazine.Read as part of the short story collection Partners in Crime.

Appointment for second COVID-19 jab- check. Location? Lovely horse park in sunny Florida. Listen to Hugh Fraser read a Tommy & Tuppence short story while waiting my turn in the car line? Delightful. Some situations just call for an Agatha Christie story... poison and all.

If you have ever read a Tommy and Tuppence book before you will love this book. This story is a real mystery for the pair, who often deal with funny little coincidences and things of that nature. This one was an actual case! The end was quite rushed and it didn't seem to fully answer all the questions left, but if you have read any Tommy and Tuppence books, you'd know this is typical of their stories. For that reason, I gave it a five. I think possibly it is the best Tommy and Tuppence book I have read so far. You definitely will not want to skip this one.
