About this listen

 In 1919, young couple Tommy Beresford and Tuppence Cowley form a partnership, hiring themselves out as "young adventurers". Their first case, however, is more of an adventure than they expect. It involves finding documents that, if they were known to the general public, would fuel a communist revolution in Britain.

Tommy and Tuppence know that Jane Finn was carrying top secret documents when she disappeared five years ago. What they don't know is that a killer is targeting a sinister older woman because she knows all about Jane. And soon Tommy and Tuppence are themselves in grave danger.

When I was 14 years old I began to read Agatha Christie's books...and these characters were my favourite detectives...

Awesome Detective Couple...

The villain was too obvious. Attempts were made in efforts to make it less so - but failed.
The performance was very good. I really enjoyed the narration.

No surprises as to "Who-du-it"

Wonder story and narrator but a high pitched noise in the background is very annoying.
