Book Description
TOMMY & TUPPENCE COMING SOON TO BRITBOX, STARRING ANTONIA THOMAS, JOSH DYLAN, AND IMMELDA STAUNTON
Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, Agatha Christie’s delightful sleuthing duo, investigate the strange and troubling doings behind the scenes at a gothic British nursing home in this official authorized version of By the Pricking of My Thumbs
When Tommy and Tuppence visit an elderly aunt in her gothic nursing home, they think nothing of her mistrust of the doctors; after all, Ada is a very difficult old lady.
But when Mrs. Lockett mentions a poisoned mushroom stew and Mrs. Lancaster talks about "something behind the fireplace," Tommy and Tuppence find themselves caught up in a spine-chilling adventure that could spell death for either of them.
Mystery, adventure, romance, and classic Christie intrigue—join Tommy & Tuppence as they solve crimes and uncover secrets across five unforgettable mysteries.
