4.0

Fun short mystery stories starring a married couple running a detective agency as a front for the Secret Service, but solving bona fide cases as well. They're not meant to be taken too seriously, and the overall tone is as light as a case involving murder could be. Every story they try role playing as famous detectives, which adds to the humor (including Poirot, which I found amusing as it's a bit of a shameless self-advertisement from Christie). If you love quick murder mysteries and married couple banter, you'll enjoy this!
