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!

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!

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
