Mrs. Bantry was dreaming. Her sweet peas had just taken a First at the flower show. The vicar, dressed in cassock and surplice, was giving out the prizes in church.

Let's now turn our attention to the mysteries themselves. Did you have a favorite mystery from the collection? A least favorite? Any aspects of the mysteries that stood out for you that you wish to discuss? #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
4. Tommy and Tuppence running a “pretend“ detective agency! This is the theme that carries us through the mysteries. What did you think of the detective agency and the ploys they would use in the office to make potential clients feel like it was an extremely busy detective agency? #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
3. As many of us mentioned in our reviews this month, this is just a fun book to read--light, comical, and a fast read of individual mysteries tied together by the detective agency. Let's first talk about the parodies. Christie adds elements of well-known detectives in 1929, including Poirot, comically acknowledging catchphrases, mannerisms, foibles, etc.
Who did you spot mentioned? #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
2. We know several years have passed since we last solved mysteries with Tommy and Tuppence. Think about their portrayal in The Secret Adversary; what of their characters have stayed the same? What has changed? #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
1. This is our second book featuring Tommy and Tuppence. Overall, what did you think of this collection of stories? How does it compare to the first book, The Secret Adversary? #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
It is difficult to know quite where to begin this story, but I have fixed my choice on a certain Wednesday at luncheon at the Vicarage.

This cover, oh this cover! Tommy's top hat is possessed? Albert has been turned into a dog boy? WHAT IS HAPPENING?!
I've read this fun collection many times, so tried an audiobook. There are quite a few; mine was narrated by Daniel Philpott, who does a good job on the many different accents. I felt he made T&T sound a little too sardonically sarcastic, but perhaps that's in keeping with their determined un-sentimentality.
