Parker Pyne Investigates

A Parker Pyne Collection

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: Hugh Fraser

Agatha Christie once again demonstrates her mastery of the short form mystery with Parker Pyne Investigates—short stories of crime and detection featuring Parker Pyne, certainly one of the most unconventional private investigators ever to pursue a hot lead.

Mrs. Packington felt alone, helpless and utterly forlorn. But her life changed when she stumbled upon an advertisement in the Times that read: ""Are you happy? If not, consult Mr. Parker Pyne.""

Equally adept at putting together the fragments of a murder mystery or the pieces of a broken marriage, Mr. Parker Pyne is possibly the world's most unconventional private investigator. Armed with just his intuitive knowledge of human nature, he is an Englishman abroad, traveling the globe to solve and undo crime and misdemeanor.

excellent narration

These short stories had just the right amount of mystery and kept you hanging until the end!

hugh fraser

as hastings or narrating parker Payne investigates lovely, wish he had done more in Hercule Poirot complete short stories as in certain stories in collection did not sound like him, but he has nice voice.

enjoyable listen

Really enjoyed the collection of short stories .... nice to finish if you don't have the time for a long listen. Narration was good . Easy to distinguish the different characters . Lots of unexpected endings !

Ineresting listen

Hugh Fraser's narration makes every book better. This short story collection featuring Parker Pyne was a departure from the usual Poirot or Miss Marple and made for an interesting listen.

Fun!

Short stories. Different kind of detective in the first bunch of them. Keeps his uniqueness in the last couple of more traditional mystery stories. Enjoyed very much.

I wish there was more of Parker Pyne!

I love the way Parker Pyne thinks. The narration is terrific and many of the stories are hilarious. If there were more counselors like Mr. Pyne, the world would be a better place. My only beef is that there isn’t more to go around!

Love Agatha Christie

Excellent narrative of the usual great Agatha Christie story. Worthy of a re- listen at a later date and time.

Pleasant read

The character of Parker Pyne is clever and serene, but reading the vignettes became monotonous if I listened to long, and the tone of Pyne's voice was almost a sedative. I found it best to listen to 2 stories at one sitting. I did like like the character, but this will be a 1 time read.

Delightful ‘Mr. Parker Pyne’

Agatha Christie’s little known ‘Detective of the Heart’ Mr. Parker Pyne is featured in this series of short-stories. For any lover of Agatha Christie, these stories add a varied wrinkle to her vast canon of murder, crime, and intrigue, with a sprinkling of romance. Enjoy!

I'd never heard of Parker Pyne! Agatha Christie's sunnier and more romantic side! Glad I listened!
