Description

A collection of short stories featuring the 'heart specialist', Parker Pyne. 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.

Auch diese Kurzgeschichten waren ziemlich cool. Besonders die letzte mit der reichen Frau fand ich ziemlich cool 👍🏻

I am participating in the #ReadChristie2021 Challenge this year and this was the February pick. It was also my first Christie book and thus an introduction of criminal novels into my reading repertiore. As I am a big fan of the movie adaptations of Christie's novels, I suspected that I would enjoy her writing as well. And indeed, I quite enjoyed this collection of short stories. Parker Pyne is quite a unique character, though I must admit that I prefer Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot. However, it is your "classical" Christie-read, I guess, as the ending of each story reveals a surprise and it is both thrilling and funny. My favourite story of this collection was by far "The Case of the Discontented Soldier".
