Agatha Christie’s Tommy and Tuppence Beresford are Partners in Crime—or rather partners in crime solving—and must demonstrate their deductive skills in a wide range of confounding cases after agreeing to take over Blunt’s International Detective Agency. Tommy and Tuppence Beresford are restless for adventure, so when they are asked to take over Blunt's International Detective Agency, they leap at the chance. Their first case is a success—the triumphant recovery of a pink pearl. Other cases soon follow—a stabbing on Sunningdale golf course; cryptic messages in the personal columns of newspapers; and even a box of poisoned chocolates. But can they live up to their slogan of "Any case solved in 24 hours"?

Mary Katherine Kennedy led a very conservative childhood. She started to sprout wings going off the college, and her life took off from there.

When she encountered the "The Pink Pearl," what she thought was an otherwise mundane life turned into a whirlwind of adventures.

Read Kate's story, and the author's commentaries along the way, and decide for yourself if she made the best choices that would, hopefully, open the door to a new life that would forever bring her the level of happiness that she sought."Kate's story is engaging from the very beginning. This book, I predict, has all the elements of becoming a best seller! From the quirky and creative writing style narrating Kate's poignant story, the book is a page-turner. Kate is a lovable, sometimes exasperating, and naive young woman struggling to exchange her 'rut' of a lifestyle into a fulfilling and happy life.
