Description
A comprehensive collection of over 50 classic short stories by Agatha Christie brings together four of her most iconic detectives: Parker Pyne, Harley Quin, Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, and Hercule Poirot. This new omnibus features an extensive range of lesser-known tales alongside some of the author's rarest Christmas stories. Among these stories are those featuring Parker Pyne, a consulting detective who solves less murderous enigmas to restore happiness to his clients; Harley Quin, a mysterious young man with a more surreptitious approach to crime-solving; and Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, a newly married pair of self-styled 'Young Adventurers' prepared to do anything in the name of justice. The collection also includes four rare short stories featuring Hercule Poirot, as well as Agatha Christie's little-known Christmas tales for children. This volume presents the complete oeuvre of these detectives and offers a unique opportunity to explore the diverse range of Agatha Christie's work.
