Parker Pyne Investigates by Agatha Christie

3.0

This is a collection of 12 short stories that have as a protagonist Parker Pyne. In the first 6 stories he has an indirect role, as he's only told the cases and then arranges what is necessary to see them to a good end, without him having an active role. In the last 6 stories he has a more active role as in holidays he is approached, on the various places he passes, by his traveller companions to resolve the problems that appear.

I enjoyed mostly the short stories entitled The Pearl of Price, which has a curious quote about archaeologists, and The Oracle at Delphi. The other cases also have some interest but they don't entangle us so much as other works by the author.
