Blindman's Buff by Agatha Christie

"You're it."

I am happy to finally be done with the Tommy and Tuppence stories because the majority of them have been disappointing. Be sure to add Blindman's Buff to the list of duds in Agatha Christie's Partners in Crime collection, which you're better of skipping. 

The whole thing is very silly, and not in a charming way. There’s a lot of cringeworthy ableism baked into the premise. Tommy decides to pose as a blind detective, shenanigans predictably follows and because he’s been impersonating the detective Blunt throughout these stories, someone now wants him dead. I really don't have much to add here other than the final confrontation between Tommy and the villain is laughably contrived. I feel pretty confident saying that Tommy and Tuppence are the weakest of her recurring characters, lacking the sharp plotting, clever clues, and effortless charm that make Poirot and Miss Marple such a pleasure to read. Even the lesser-known Listerdale mysteries are better. Instead of ending on a high note, this story just reinforces how disappointing this particular duo has been overall.
