#Tommy and Tuppence

[the-jovial-jester]

I swear someone needs to make a film plot where famous detectives all go on vacation to the same place and there’s a murder. Because all the detectives would HATE each other

Poirot and Sherlock are constantly fighting

Nero Wolfe refuses to leave his hotel room and is just bitching about everyone to Archie

asene lupine isn’t even trying to solve the mystery he’s just pissing off sherlock. watson wants to go home

Hastings and Archie are trading stories about there respective employer/friend

sherlock solves it first but Miss Marple actually did she just didn’t say anything because “these young whipper snappers need to work it out themselves”

the whimseys and the Branford’s didn’t even show up because Tuppence and Harriet were trying on hats while Tommy and Peter just kinda sat there

Poirot was busy matchmaking and Sherlock was like ugh that’s disgusting 😒

foyle was the detective they called. He took one look at this shit show and said Sam take me home.

bertie Wooster was a guest too and he was set to marry the murdered ladies daughter but Jeeves tipped off Poirot that the girl was in love with the gardener

jeeves and miss Marple get along wonderfully

no one’s really sure why those two gardening ladies are so nosey.

As a casual Agatha Christie fan, I am delighted by that recommendation. Do you have any other favorite books from her?

Sure!

And Then There Were None Ten people go to an island, it does not go well. This one stands out in that it has a good adaptation!

Appointment with Death The murder is ingenius and all in this one, but what I particularly enjoy is how well Christie captures the power an abusive mother can have over her adult children, it's a dynamic you don't often see in fiction (at least not played out this way).

Cards on the Table M. Shaitana has a fantastic idea: he's going to invite four murderers and four law enforcers to his house for a night of bridge, and he's going to stir up as much drama as possible. Things do not go well for M. Shaitana. (Stay miles away from the Suchet adaptation)

Crooked House The patriarch of an affluent family dies, and his twelve-year-old granddaughter decides to investigate. I was the same age when I first read it, which made the ending uh interesting.

Curtain Poirot finds the perfect murderer.

Death on the Nile Makes the list for many reasons, it's such a classical Christie but also because nobody agrees with Jackie's life choices, not even Jackie.

Hallowe'en Party A child claims to have witnessed a murder, no one believes her. A few hours later she's found murdered. I mostly like this one for the utterly insane murderer. What a champ.

Murder on the Orient Express There's a murder on the Orient Express. (If you want a film version, the 1974 version is the best. Suchet's version is... melodramatic, I don't like its ending but it had a fantastic opening scene, while the Branagh version is an atrocity, do not watch.)

Ordeal by Innocence Five years ago Arthur Calgary nerded about penguins to some random guy then left for Antarctica the next day. It was great. Now he returns to England only to find that the man was Jacob Argyle, and he was accused of murdering his mother that night. He kept claiming his alibi was some penguin guy and could give very specific, identifying details that five years later make Arthur Calgary "yup, that's me!", but Calgary was in Antarctica at the time so he never came forward. And uh Jacob died in prison in the meantime. But, Calgary tells himself, the important thing is that Jacob was innocent, right? Right? The Argyle family, who had finally put this behind them only to learn that their brother was innocent and one of the remaining members did it, don't agree.

Sad Cypress Elinor Carlisle is sad. She's about to hang for a double homicide she might not have committed, but even without that she'd still be pretty miserable.

The Secret Adversary I felt I had to recommend a Tommy and Tuppence, and while I don't remember much of any of them I'll just recommend the first one in the series. Tommy and Tuppence books are more political thriller than the usual fare, great fun if you want to switch things up during your Christie binge. (Do not touch ITV's By the Pricking of My Thumbs, though.)

The Mirror Crack'd One of my all-time favorites and weirdly formative. Miss Marple is grappling with the realities of old age, and solves a murder along the way. It's more character heavy than many of Christie's books, people do the things they do because it is in their nature and they can't escape it.

The Mysterious Affair at Styles The very first one! It makes the list for that. And because if you plan to read Curtain, you should read this one first as it references this one a lot.

Towards Zero Following the logic that the murder isn't the beginning of the story, but rather the culmination of one, this story is building towards the zero point - the moment the murder will occur.

Honestly, anon, I'm just listing Christies I fondly remember, I can keep going but the post will just get unreasonably long. Go read Agatha Christie, she's great.

Hercule Poirot's Christmas and A Pocketful of Rye get special shoutouts because while I haven't read the books, the ITV adaptations were really good, the former particularly with the casting and the latter particularly with the way the reveal was done. Same goes for One, Two, Buckle My Shoe, haven't read it but the adaptation was great.

(Overall I'm ambivalent about ITV's adaptations, the Poirot series wanted to be a fairly light, feelgood show the whole family could watch after dinner, and while both series liked to change things from the books and overall make them more daytime television, the Miss Marple series changed a lot more than the Poirot series did. They both have a nasty habit of putting Poirot and Marple in stories they weren't originally, usually to the story's detriment (passive aggressive shoutout to By the Pricking of My Thumbs). It's annoying, though does make it hilarious that they couldn't put Poirot in Crooked House.

They're still entertaining and I don't turn off the TV when an episode is on unless it's one of the bad ones, but... well it's daytime television-ified Christie.)

Miss Marple Literary Universe and the Tommy and Tuppence Literary Universe are one and the same!!

I don't know if anyones talked about this before but in Sleeping Murder, when Gwenda and Giles visit a sanatorium (aka "a mental home"), there's "a very charming old lady[...]holding a glass of milk". Her first line, spoken to Gwenda, is "Is it your poor child, my dear?". She mentions that the clock is "always at half past ten", and that something is "behind the fireplace". Her name is never mentioned and the entire interaction is less than half a page long. And thats the entirety of this character... in this Miss Marple story.

In the Tommy and Tuppence novel By the Pricking of My Thumbs, there's an old lady called Mrs. Lancaster in a nursing home whose first scene involves her love for milk, asking Tuppence "was it your poor child?", mentioning that the time is always "ten past eleven", and that something is "behind the fireplace".

By the Pricking of My Thumbs is set sometime in the late 1940s to the early 1950s according to Wikipedia, and Mrs. Lancaster was put in a nursing home roughly 20 years before that. Sleeping Murder, though published in 1976, is set in ~1944 (source: my dubious math based on a wedding certificate and backed up by wikipedia lol). So the timeline makes sense: if Mrs. Lancaster was originally put in a nursing home in ~1930, she could definitely have been in Sleeping Murder.

It's safe to say that it was the same person in both books. Which is wild to me because I often wonder if all these different Agatha Christie stories are happening in the same literary universe? Now I know at least that Miss Marple and Tommy & Tuppence are running around in the same world sniffing around a bunch of crimes.

#Sleeping Murder #By the Pricking of My Thumbs #Miss Marple #Tommy and Tuppence #agatha christie #I know this was already mentioned in the Sleeping Murder wikipedia page but i felt so smart realizing the connection on my own #i read By the Pricking of My Thumbs a few days ago and I just finished Sleeping Murder today so they were both fresh in my mind #what's wild is that apparently By the Pricking of My Thumbs was adapted for tv for the Miss Marple tv show #they just kinda added Miss Marple and got rid of Tommy lowkey #so it has nothing to do with Sleeping Murder by thats so fascinating #wait now i need to know if mrs lancaster is there in the Sleeping Murder adaptation #ok i just found it and watched the scene where they go to the sanatorium and mrs lancaster is not there :/

20 de abril de 2023. Quinta-feira.

Depois de demorar 1 mês para ler cada uma das 3 leituras que fiz esse ano, eu até estranhei quando li um livro em uma semana. Sim, eu terminei de ler "M ou N?" (no dia 17 de abril).

E assim, definitivamente não é um livro fora do comum, mas foi gostosinho de ler.

"M ou N?" é o terceiro livro da saga de Tommy & Tuppence e tem um valor especial, mesmo não sendo o meu preferido dessa saga até agora, é o que confirmou que esses são os meus detetives preferidos da Agatha Christie.

Teve uma época que li tanto Agatha Christie, que enjoei dela, então passei a ler seus livros mais espaçados.

A última leitura que fiz da Rainha do Crime foi bem ruim - era um da Mrs. Marple, que tive o primeiro contato em um conto (que amei), só que depois de ler um romance com ela, estou um pé atrás em ler algo dessa detetive. Por isso, não queria errar e escolhi um da Tommy e Tuppence para não ter erro.

Definitivamente, o que me faz gostar desse casal é o jeito da Tuppence. Ela é tão... refrescante, mesmo tendo sido escrita há décadas, rs.

Enfim, não tenho muito o que falar desse livro, é bem típico da Agatha. Só acho legal pontuar que é interessante assistir Tommy & Tuppence envelhecendo, fico curioso com o que a autora pode inventar com base nisso.

The World Was Wide Enough

Cameron Mahkent x gn reader (established relationship)

almost 1k words

warnings: maybe language and humor

You fell from your place floating in the air, exhaustion creeping over you. Stabilizing the reactor had taken all of your energy albeit  your earlier concern was most certainly being made valid. You felt like you could sleep for weeks. A throbbing ringing filled your ears as the world became spotted. Your feet couldn’t find the ground, contact was imposible considering your position. Within an instant you knew you would be blacking out, you only hoped there would be someone to catch you.

—

“I swear to God, Luther and Thawne better be ready the next time I see them. Mage could have died from that.” Your eyes remained shut, as you held onto every word surrounding you.

“It wasn't on purpose,” the voice of the one and only Psimon filled your ears.

“Yea, Junior, them doing that just thickened up their skin. They’ll be more ready the next time,” the eldest Terror Twin said. His counterpart hummed in agreement in the background.

“How about we just let them rest,” Devistation offered to the group, “Icicle, you can shut off the lights and shit. We have things we need to do.”

Cameron grumbled as the others chuckled, walking out of the room. The sound of the heart monitor you were attached to beeped to your right. Slowly you opened your eyes after the ice meta turned off the overhead light. The lamp at your bedside remained on and you glanced across the room to the last member of your messy, unagreeable team. 

“Yeah, if Reverse shows his face any time soon I’m going to pin him in the air and leave him there so he can’t phase himself free,” you said from the medical bed you were laying on.

Cameron’s head turned quickly, looking over you once, and then he bounded across the room. He swiftly lifted you up and into his arms. The embrace was cool and kind as you returned the sentiment engulfing his body with yours. 

“You scared the shit out of me, babe,” Cameron pulled back to look at you.

“Yeah, well someone has to keep you on your toes,” you smiled back at him. Cool lips pressed against your own softly and sweetly. His hand traced your cheek carefully, still worried that you would fall away again. You pulled back just enough so that your foreheads touched as you nuzzled into his space.

“I think I’m kept on my toes enough,” he said in response as you hummed at his answer, taking in his presence.

“Maybe I just thought we needed something exciting to happen. However, I was not expecting that much kickback,” you chuckled lightheartedly.

“Why would you want to put yourself through something like that?” Cam asked. “I know you didn’t think it would go well and warned them that they were underestimating the job. You could have said no,” he whispered. His eyes were sad as he stared into yours waiting for an answer. 

You brought your own hand up to his cheek. “Because I knew I’d be okay. Sure, in the moment I wasn’t fine, but I’m alright now, C. This is what we do. This is our responsibility-“

“I don’t want that responsibility. If you’re going to get hurt or pass out from shit then you shouldn’t do it and no one should fucking expect you to. I want you to be safe.” His hands grasped the one at your side.

“Cam, this job we do, it will never be safe, for either of us,” you said calmly, trying to cool the always cold criminal off.

“Then…” Cameron said, his eyes up at the ceiling as he bit his lip in concentration.

“Then?” you prompted softly, awaiting his answer. As his thoughts continued to race you patted his hair and left a gentle kiss on his temple.

“Why don’t we leave?” he asked, finally returning his gaze to you.

“Why don’t we leave?” you repeated. Your brow furrowed in confusion.

“Yeah, we can just go. The world is our oyster,” he said giddily, grabbing your hands in his, “we could run away together. We could, we could, elope!”

“Cameron, babe, I love you. But do you even know what that word means?” you questioned gently.

“Yeah, we leave everything behind and run off into the sunset free from our responsibilities,” he replied innocently with anticipation. His eyes were wide and shined brightly for your response.

“Look, Cam, I’m-I’m all for leaving if you want to leave. I’d follow you to the end of the world. However, I still don’t think you completely understand the connotation of that word,” you admitted.

“Yeah, yeah, look, we can travel the whole world together. Hang out in the Caribbean, tour Europe together, visit Italy, and travel through Rome. Trust me, I’ll make that honeymoon worth your while,” he grinned smugly, sending you a wink.

You slapped his arm jokingly with a roll of your eyes as he feigned injury, “Dick.”

“That’s what I was implying, babe,” he smirked.

“Well,” you chuckled, dancing your hand up his arm finger by finger, tracing all the way up to his shoulder, “if you promise to take me to Europe, you won’t have to wait for the honeymoon.”

Cameron’s eyes widened as he shot up from his spot beside you, “okay, let’s go. Time to get a move on, up and out of bed, babe.”

You smiled at his antics, kicking your legs over the medical bed and rose from your place. Your hands easily found his, pulling him back in. The smile on your face held affection as the look in your eyes contained excitement for the future and comfort in what was to come. You brought him closer, reattaching your lips, looking forward to the rest of your life beside him.

“Marriage is called all sorts of things, a haven, and a refuge, and a crowning glory, and a state of bondage, and lots more. But do you know what I think it is?” “What?” “A sport!” “And a damned good sport too.”

[randomnessoffiction]

I really wish BBC Radio 4 would do a series of adaptations of the Tommy and Tuppence stories. I love their adaptations of Poirot with John Moffat and Miss Marple with June Whitfield. Tommy and Tuppence have been severely neglected compared to Monsieur Poirot and Miss Marple, and this needs to change.

“I think,” [Tommy] said thoughtfully, “that I shall be Thorndyke today.”

“I shouldn’t have thought there was anything medico-legal about this case,” remarked Tuppence.

“Perhaps not,” said Tommy. “But I’m simply dying to use that new camera of mine! It’s supposed to have the most marvellous lens that ever was or could be.”

“I know those kind of lenses,” said Tuppence. “By the time you’ve adjusted the shutter and stopped down and calculated the exposure and kept your eye on the spirit level, your brain gives out, and you yearn for the simple Brownie.”

“Only an unambitious soul is content with the simple Brownie.”

Cooking With Christie: Veggie Tot Pie

Inspiration: Recently, I’ve been battling mental fog. This blank greyness not only makes it difficult to think my way out of a paper bag — it turns cooking/baking from a joy into a chore. (Which sucks, btw.) Which means my husband and I end up eating eggs & pancakes and toasty cheese sandwiches & soup. But as much as I love these comfort classics, there’s only so long you can eat them until you…
