Le flambeau

Ah ! les muffins de l'hôtel Bertram... Ils n'ont pas leur pareil. Non plus que le thé, le personnel stylé et les clients, ladies respectables, ecclésiastiques et officiers en retraite qui viennent y retrouver l'atmosphère d'antan... Vraiment l'hôtel Bertram est plus victorien que nature, et Miss Marple se réjouit d'y passer une semaine. Et pourtant, quelques détails la troublent : cette jeune fille, Elvira, qui s'est amourachée d'un pilote de course peu recommandable, sa mère, une aventurière décidée, et ce pauvre chanoine Pennyfather qui disparaît... Il est bien étourdi, mais tout de même... Décidément, tout n'est peut-être pas aussi paisible et feutré qu'il y paraît... à l'hôtel Bertram.

A L'hotel Bertram

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.

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - Hercule Poirot #1

‘Mrs McGinty’s dead!’ ‘How did she die?’ ‘Down on one knee, just like I!’ The old children’s game now seemed rather tasteless. The real Mrs McGinty was killed by a crushing blow to the back of the head and her pitifully small savings were stolen. Suspicion falls immediately on her lodger, hard up and out of a job. Hercule Poirot has other ideas – unaware that his own life is now in great danger.
