Tommy and Tuppence find themselves again trapped in a Secret Service mission performing as Mr. Blunt and Ms. Robinson on their new "Blunt's Brilliant Detectives" agency where they need to help Mr. Carter track down a Russian spy who keeps information he needs. This was a set of short stories where Tommy and Tuppence solved "small" mysteries while keeping an eye open for a blue envelope with a Russian stamp. It was funny, lighthearted, entertaining and even tense some times. I was hooked through the whole book, every story getting one step closer to the big finale. Through the whole book, Tommy and Tuppence did not only impersonated Mr. Blunt and his secretary Ms. Robinson, but also impersonated famous detectives from different mystery novels, and it was fun to learn how each detective has his own style, and how that style helped them complete their goal. I totally recommend this book, it's a light, fast read, and will totally enjoy it. It can be catalogued as a cozy mystery to pass a quite afternoon.
