A classic Agatha Christie short story, available individually for the first time as an ebook.

 Mr. Parker Pyne is going through a bit of a palaver trying to get to Beirut, what with his rusty linguistic skills and the less than comfortable arrangement on the aeroplane. But, with the help of an amused German pilot he soon navigates his way around. The pilot, Herr Schlagel's thoughts are dominated by the mysterious and sudden death of one of his last passengers, a 'flower' who was in the company of the undoubtedly mad Lady Esther at the House of Shiraz. Pyne takes the initiative, as always and writes to Lady Esther enclosing his famous advertisement and waits to see what will happen. When he arrives at the House of Shiraz he waits to see what the infamously demented Lady Esther has to say for herself and it all begins to unravel.

Murder in the Mews

A brand new ebook omnibus featuring Agatha Christie's favourite characters: Messrs Quin and Satterthwaite.

 Harley Quin is an enigma. He appears and disappears unexpectedly - and usually by strange tricks of the light caused by stained-glass windows or flickering firelight. His background, family and friends are all a mystery - his almost supernatural powers of detection are, however, very real.

 Mr Satterthwaite is altogether more normal - fundamentally a snob, he lives the carefree lifestyle of a bachelor whilst indulging his hobbies. Yet, beneath this facade is a deep vein of loneliness that compels him to observe everyone and everything.

 Together they are an unstoppable, crime-fighting tour de force - Sattherthwaite's skills of observation are honed by Quin's subtle questioning, bringing to light the most pertinent clues in any crime. With each acting as a catalyst for the other, the criminal fraternity had best beware.

 This volume brings all the Quin and Satterthwaite novels and short stories together for the first time, and showcases the pair's talents in a way that clearly explains why Agatha Christie herself was so fond of her creations: 'The Love Detectives'.

A strange house

 A ghost from the past

 As soon as she moves into Hillside, Gwenda knows there's something strange about this house.

 A sealed room. A hidden door. The apparition of a young woman being strangled.

 But strangest of all - this all seems quite familiar.

 As her friend Jane Marple investigates, the answer seems to lie in a crime committed nearly twenty years ago.

 The killer may have gotten away with murder. But Miss Marple is never far behind.

 Never underestimate Miss Marple

 'Reading a perfectly plotted Agatha Christie is like crunching into a perfect apple: that pure, crisp, absolute satisfaction.'Tana French

 'Miss Marple is spry, shrewd and compassionate.'
