Mystery

The true Queen of Mystery shows her short story talents in this marvelous compendium of odd ball "love stories". She reprises her fabulous detectives, Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, the strange and innovative Parker Pyne, the secretive Harley Quin, and the wildly creative Tommy and Tuppance.

As each story unfolds, readers are taken from the streets of London, to a train on the Nile, the English countryside, and the opera. There is the rich woman who goes to Parker Pyne to ask him for help in spending her money to make her happier. There is the story of stolen jewels, a Russian countess, and Hercule Poirot and his assistant on the search. And the orange grower who lures a beautiful wife away from her husband, but does he?

Don't miss this excellent trip back in time. Agatha Christie had the amazing ability to immediately draw a reader into her stories, and this terrific grouping of tales is no exception.
