How can you go wrong with anything written by Agatha Christie?? I loved all of the short stories - I wish there had been more of Poirot and Miss Marple - but I enjoyed meeting Parker Pyne. Amazon customer service and delivery OUTSTANDING as usual.

Agatha Christie's stories are fun, personable, & easy to read. I love all of her characters & have not read a "bad" one yet.

I keep looking all the time for stories by Christie that I havent
read; a very hard thing to do. Sometimes I go back to some of
the older tales having forgotten the ending. You won't be able
to put this book down. There,s Miss Marple,the ever lovable little
Belgian(not French!) detective who uses his little gray cells to
solve most mysteries. Also Parker Pyne who puts ads in the newspaper
how he can help you solve your problems-are you lonely?, do you have
so much money you dont know what to do with it? Is your life dull and
you seek excitement? Parker Pyne can do it and at very reasonable
costs. Then there's Mr. Satterthwaite who travels the world helping
he meets on the way to solve their problems but not without the help
of Mr. Harley Quin, a man very hard to describe. He just seems to pop
up out of thin air when Mr. Satterthwaite needs him. In the tale on
World's End, at the end they are standing viewing the ocean and
Mr. Quin literally disappeared perhpas into another world.
My favorite tale in this book, one I had never read before was
Greenshaw's Folly, a horible looking very old house Mr. Greenshaw
had built leaving to his daughter. This is one story you actually
dont know if you,re coming or going. Absolutely one of Christie,s
best.

Excellent book. Thought I'd read all the Agatha Christies, but this book contained many stories that I had not seen.....especially ones about Harley Quin.
