About this listen

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.

I had no idea what to expect from this set of short stories but, I throughly enjoyed them. What a hidden gem, I wish there were more, I love how all the stories developed, the characters were all interesting and I would def venture into more of Agatha Christie’s less known novels

Just excellent!

Individually, the stories are great. When combined into a single collection, they come across a little repetitive and formulaic.

Good stories but a little repetitive

I’d never come across this character by Agatha Christie before, which is quite strange. I’m guessing that these were written quite late in her life.

I wish there were more of these! This is a fascinating character and novel “case studies.”

Perfectly narrated too!

Absolutely Brilliant!
