Tommy and Tuppence are a great pair of sleuths!

katheryn97t.bsky.social•165 days ago

I don’t think I’ve read any of them before (I read a lot of Christie when I was younger, but mostly Marple and Poirot)

N or M is another good T and T mystery 🙂

Love N or M, the wartime setting is so evocative.

And the "I say, chaps!" dialogue gets me every time.

I remember I read that one when I was just a teenager and it was one of my favorite AC books

Yeahhhh

I love Tommy and Tuppence - my favourite of her detectives
It's also worth reading the Secret of Chimneys, a Superintendent Battle novel

That's a fun cover.

It’s great isn’t it! (I contemplated trying to describe it for alt-text but gave up)

jagodesu.bsky.social•165 days ago

It's always a challenge. I love the colours, specially how her hair contrasts with the blue.

katheryn97t.bsky.social•165 days ago

There’s just so much going on in it - the more I look at it, the more I notice

jagodesu.bsky.social•165 days ago

The little bow on the documents and the peeling wallpaper. This would be a fun cover to recreate.

Ok, no joke, I thought for many seconds that was your right hand holding a gun up to the book. My brain is so fried by people doing dumb weird shit for posts that I was like “Ok, holding a gun and a mystery novel, sure, whatever.”

katheryn97t.bsky.social•164 days ago

Ha. I can’t unsee that now!

Great Pan? Great Pan is dead, right?

Never liked them much - Poirot and Marple set the bar too high, I think

katheryn97t.bsky.social•165 days ago

I’m enjoying it so far…

granitegeeknh.bsky.social•165 days ago

certainly they're better than Parker Pyne or Harley Quin
