About this listen

Tommy and Tuppence, two young people short of money and restless for excitement, embark on a daring business scheme – Young Adventurers Ltd.

Their advertisement says they are ‘willing to do anything, go anywhere’. But their first assignment, for the sinister Mr Whittington, plunges them into more danger than they ever imagined…

Another brilliant Christie creation masterfully performed by Hugh Fraser. Tuppence and Tommy are charming, witty and exciting

I love this book!!

Like many AC readers, I came to Tommy and Tuppence after working my way through the Poirots and Miss Marples...and fell in love. What great characters :) The story takes a little while to get going, but then it absolutely grips you and doesn't let go until the final pages. Hugh Fraser brilliant as always.

Loveable characters and a nailbiting finish

This is my absolute favourite story. Full of menace and chilling to the last. I wish there were more Tommy and Tuppence stories. No one has ever replicated ACs seemingly effortless charm in witty sparkling dialogue and quick sincere wonderful characterisation. And there’s her wonderful way with writing about dogs.
