Book Description
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"?

Book Description
Mary Katherine Kennedy led a very conservative childhood. She started to sprout wings going off the college, and her life took off from there. Kate felt in a rut and sought a goal of greater happiness, moving to New York City to join her boyfriend, Ari Goldman. When she encountered the "The Pink Pearl," what she thought was an otherwise mundane life turned into a whirlwind of adventures. Her journey seeking that goal took many twists and turns, some hilarious, some raucous, some sad, and this part of her story ended with a life-changing decision. Did she make the right decision? 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. I found myself talking to her character as I read her story. That's how real Kate is! This first-time author creates a character as real as you and me while injecting humor and hope into this millennial's angst."Karla Williams Noonan, best-selling author, Aurora Street

Everyman's Guide to the Mysteries of Agatha Christie
Author: Bruce Pendergast
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1412023041
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
Everyman's Guide to the Mysteries of Agatha Christie is a reference book covering Christie's 238 stories. It provides data never before published about both important and trivial facts. Dedications, time periods, and locations have been laboriously researched, and provided with "time warp" explanations. Even trivial data such as newspapers (100 in all), pubs (95) and automobiles (136) are shown as well as each story in which they are listed. English sayings totalling 259 are shown with the book(s) in which they appear, including a brief explanation of their meaning. Yet Guide is much more than a list of facts. It is an informative reference book about Christie's writings. As well, different perspectives on many of the perplexing mysteries within her mysteries are provided. Finally, Guide is not an alphabetical list of stories or characters. Instead, it lists many entrancing "errors" of sketches and text with comments explaining where possible the reasons for their existence. Most importantly, "Guide" does not betray any book's endings nor the identity of the villain, a rule that genuine Christie devotees always try to uphold.
