Problem at Pollensa Bay: and other stories

This collection of short stories from the undisputed Queen of Crime, perfectly illustrating the incredible breadth of the author’s talent; from sinister murder mysteries to light-hearted romances. All great crime writers have their favourite creations. Similarly, every great sleuth has his, or her, own preferred method of deduction. Take the charming Parker Pyne, who relies upon an intuitive knowledge of human nature to solve the Problem at Pollensa Bay. Or Mr Satterthwaite, who seeks inspiration through his collaboration with the enigmatic Mr Quin in The Harlequin Tea Set mystery. Then, of course, there’s Poirot, whose measured analysis of motive and opportunity is tested to the full in Yellow Iris, when he receives an anonymous call about a matter of life and death. In Problem at Pollensa Bay, Agatha Christie, the classic Sunday Times bestselling author, weaves thrilling tales of amateur detectives solving mysteries. Her traditional approach to detective fiction has made her a top name in the genre. 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).
