Tommy & Tuppence find stolen jewelry.
Tommy decides that this time around he and Tuppence will imitate famous detectives.
Now, I listened to this as a stand-alone short story, not as part of a collection, and let me be the first to say that it wasn't all that impressive. Just a very simple story that, to be very honest, wasn't all that interesting. Also, I'm quite aware that Christie wasn't known for her mysteries being solvable beforehand, but in this setting, it was really annoying.
You're following Tuppence around and suddenly Tommy walks in with the answer at the end.
I'd suggest you read this as part of Partners in Crime if you want to get the most out of it.
However, if you need to kill a few minutes & are a big Agatha Christie fan, this will fit the bill.
For anyone dipping their toes into her books for the first time, I'd suggest you start with Murder on the Orient Express, They Came to Baghdad, And Then There Were None, or (another Tommy & Tuppence) The Secret Adversary.

I need that movie in my life right now, Jeff!
It's still in some theatres around here. Maybe the $4 theatre there? You can trick Hubs or one of the kids into going with you.
I'll make Nick go with me. He won't admit it, but he got into it there at the end.
Heh. That's probably what reeled him in.
