Parker Pyne Investigates

A collection of short stories featuring the redoubtable ‘heart specialist’, Parker Pyne. This volume, in its contemporary Agatha Christie Collection livery, perfectly illustrates Agatha Christie’s critically–acclaimed foray into light-hearted, romantic mysteries. Mrs Packington felt alone, helpless and utterly forlorn. But her life changed when she stumbled upon an advertisement in The Times which read: ‘ARE YOU HAPPY? IF NOT, CONSULT MR PARKER PYNE’. Equally adept at putting together the pieces of a marriage or the fragments of a murder mystery, Mr Parker Pyne was possibly the world’s most unconventional private eye – and certainly its most charming. Agatha Christie, the classic Sunday Times bestselling author, brings to life the most charming and unconventional detective, Parker Pyne. This cosy, traditional crime fiction is a bestseller, showcasing Christie's expertise in creating compelling amateur sleuths. For fans of Richard Osman (We Solve Murders), Anthony Horowitz (The Twist of a Knife), M. C. Beaton (Death of a Prankster), Alexandra Benedict (Death Comes at Christmas), and Daphne Du Maurier (The Birds And Other Stories).
