A collection of short stories featuring some of Agatha Christie's best-loved detectives - Hercule Poirot,Parker Pyne,Mr Satterthwaite and Harley Quin...
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.

'The acknowledged queen of detective fiction'Observer
Agatha Christie
The reigning queen of crime,Agatha Christie's life took her from her home in the Devon countryside to Cairo,Australia and,of course,a journey on the Orient Express. She created two of the most famous detectives in literature,the moustached Belgian super-sleuth Hercule Poirot and the deceptively genteel village investigator Miss Marple,as well as creating the longest running stage playThe Mousetrap.
