By the Pricking of My Thumbs [Paperback]

**By the Pricking of My Thumbs** - because nothing says "cozy mystery" quite like elderly sleuths poking around sinister nursing homes! This Agatha Christie gem follows Tommy and Tuppence Beresford as they stumble into a web of disappearing pensioners and cryptic paintings. What starts as a routine visit to Aunt Ada spirals into trademark Christie territory: missing persons, dodgy characters, and enough red herrings to stock a fishmonger.

Perfect for mystery lovers who appreciate their crime served with a hefty side of British wit and zero gore. Christie veterans and newcomers alike will relish this underrated entry in the Beresford series - it's got all the puzzle-solving satisfaction without the drawing room melodrama.

This preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks (ISBN: 9780006130185) belongs in every cozy crime collection.

**Reader Reviews:**

"Tommy and Tuppence are such a refreshing change from Poirot's ego trips. Clever plotting keeps you guessing until the end."
