About this product

Product Information

A brand new bumper omnibus gathering together over 50 classic Agatha Christie stories featuring Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, Harley Quin, Parker Pyne and Hercule Poirot, plus her rare Christmas Stories not available in any other volume. This new compendium of over 50 stories is the first time all the stories featuring Agatha Christie's detectives have been collected together. Here you will meet - PARKER PYNE - a consulting detective whose practice is to solve less murderous enigmas and restore happiness to his clients; HARLEY QUIN - a tall, dark, mysterious young man who takes a more surreptitious approach to solving crime; TOMMY AND TUPPENCE BERESFORD - a newly married pair of self-styled 'Young Adventurers' who are prepared to do anything in the name of justice. And in addition to presenting the complete oeuvre for these detectives, this volume includes as a bonus four rare short stories featuring that grand master of detection, Monsieur HERCULE POIROT, plus Agatha Christie's little-known Christmas stories written for children, including Star Over Bethlehem and The Naughty Donkey .

  • If you like Agatha Christie, you'll love this compilation

    A very good Agatha Christie short story compilation, and all so new to me - not your run of the mill Christie characters.

  • Very entertaining

    Each story is a little jewel. It is amazing how Agatha Christie can pack so much intrigue in so many short stories.

  • Rather shabby but a good read

    For the price we paid the book was very shabby, but there again you read the book that's all, but if we seen it in a Charity shop we would have said not worth the money
