- TriviaThree of the stories in the original "Partners in Crime" mystery story anthology were not made into TV shows; they were "The Adventure of the Sinister Stranger", "Blindman's Buff" and "The Man Who was No. 16". These stories comprise an ongoing case that spans the anthology. The introductory story, "A Fairy in the Flat" not only has the Beresfords asked to take over The International Detective Agency, but reveals that the agency's former manager, Theodore Blunt, was a part of a spy ring, and the Beresfords are tasked with intercepting coded messages. The three unadapted stories find the Beresfords threatened by various spies and eventually, discovering the identity of agent No. 16. The book ends with them closing the detective agency and Tuppence announcing she is pregnant.

Featured review
A very light hearted, easy to watch mystery series.
Married Couple Tommy and Tuppence set up as private Detectives, and hunt down killer and thieves, using all manner of disguises and techniques.
Christie was of course The Queen of Crime, but each Detective had a different tone, I've always thought that the Miss Marple novels were some of her darkest, Nemesis and The Body in The Library two of the darkest, Partners in Crime were always on the lighter side, this series really did capture that essence.
It's such a watchable series, they're fun and light viewing. The best element for me, the visuals, this series gorgeous looking, the sets and costumes are fabulous, Annis always steals the show.
The acting is a little hit and miss at times, but Warwick and Annis are excellent, sometimes it plays out like a stage play.
My favourites were Finessing the King, The Secret Adversary and The Crackler, the one I struggle with is The Man in The Mist.
Such a shame they didn't make N or M and Oh The Pricking of my thumbs, I'd have loved to see the direction they'd have gone in.
7/10.
