Agatha Christie's "Young Detective Novels" brings together four of Christie's most beloved books, each of which features a young detective (or two) trying to unravel various mysteries, mayhem...and murder. For our first offering, we present two "Tommy and Tuppence" novels, the initial books of Christie's thrilling series featuring Tommy and Prudence "Tuppence" Beresford. In "The Secret Adversary" and "Partners in Crime," we find Tommy and Tuppence as they embark on a career as crime-solvers, first getting wrapped up in international intrigue and then, in Book Two, opening up a detective agency of their own and solving mysteries for various clients who seek their assistance. Then, two books from the Superintendent Battle series, featuring Lady Eileen Brent - better known to her friends as "Bundle." In these two books - "The Secret of Chimneys" and "The Seven Dials Mystery," Superintendent Battle is faced with two mind-bending crimes, but with Bundle's help, the evildoers are soon on the run! Four complete Agatha Christie novels featuring three of her youngest sleuths, "The Young Detectives Novels" are presented here in their original and unabridged formats.Ver livro
