Behind this simple newspaper advertisement lies a most unusual detective. Parker Pyne isn’t interested in solving murders—he’s in the business of happiness. Whether it's a bored housewife, a lonely retired man, or a couple facing ruin, Pyne uses logic, empathy, and a touch of theatrical flair to change lives and uncover surprising truths. In this charming and clever collection of short stories, Agatha Christie introduces a different kind of sleuth—one who proves that the human heart can be just as mysterious as any crime.
