The Adventure of the Sinister Stranger by Agatha Christie
5.0
Tommy and Tuppence Beresford are awaiting a letter from Russia, that they have told may contain some information of international importance, hidden away under the stamp. However, when the letter arrives it seems that more than one party is awaiting it, and it is up to Tommy and Tuppence to make sure it doesn’t get into the wrong hands.
This is a short story that is now available as a stand alone short story, and readers can also find it in the anthology called “Partners in Crime”. First published in 1924 it demonstrates how well Agatha Christie wrote about international mystery and intrigue. She manages to write a international mystery plot just as brilliantly as she writes a murder mystery in a sleepy english village.
At just 30 minutes this audio was short and sweet. Within those 30 minutes Agatha Christie has set up the scene and takes the reader on a interesting journey, as Tommy and Tuppence try and keep the letter from getting into the wrong hands.
As with most of the short stories there is no murder involved, but it is a good mystery. I haven’t read too many Tommy and Tuppence mysteries, but they are such a likable duo and I’m looking forward to reading more of their short stories.
