Another Christie character who does remind me of Poirot. A retired man who advertises in newspapers - "Are you happy? If not consult Mr Parker Pyne, 17 Richmond Street." Most people come to him for the heck since they have nothing to lose.

So, in every episode, Mr. Pyne solves a case. Two more famous mysteries that is part of this collection are - Death at the Nile and Problem at the Pollensa Bay.

Though Agatha Christie has her own charm, I now felt that some of the stories were bit juvenile. May be I am finally outgrowing them. :) ( )
