Overview
12 casos para Parker Pyne, uno de los investigadores más extraordinarios de la reina del crimen.
Con estadísticas en lugar de lupa y un peculiar elenco de colaboradores, Parker Pyne no persigue asesinos, sino sombras de infelicidad. Esposos aburridos, matrimonios en crisis, mujeres que sueñan con aventuras, señores respetables cansados de su vida intachable... todos acaban llamando a su puerta en busca de algo que no saben nombrar.
En estos relatos, Agatha Christie convierte el corazón humano en escenario de intriga: misterios sentimentales, engaños delicadamente urdidos, escapadas a Oriente Medio y giros tan imprevistos como inevitables, siempre teñidos de su fina ironía. Porque a veces el verdadero enigma no es quién mató a quién, sino qué hace falta para atreverse a vivir de otra manera... y Parker Pyne está convencido de que la felicidad, si se conoce el método, puede planearse como un crimen perfecto.
«Apela a todos los fans de Agatha Christie y a todos los amantes del relato bien construido.» The Observer
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
12 cases for Parker Pyne, one of the most extraordinary investigators created by the Queen of Crime.
Armed with statistics instead of a magnifying glass and assisted by an unusual team of collaborators, Parker Pyne does not hunt murderers but the shadows of unhappiness. Bored husbands, troubled marriages, women longing for adventure, respectable gentlemen weary of their flawless lives... all come knocking on his door in search of something they cannot quite name.
In these stories, Agatha Christie turns the human heart into a stage for intrigue: emotional mysteries, cleverly orchestrated deceptions, journeys to the Middle East, and twists that are as unexpected as they are inevitable, all infused with her trademark wit. Because sometimes the real mystery is not who killed whom, but what it takes to dare to live differently... and Parker Pyne is convinced that happiness, if approached with the right method, can be planned like the perfect crime.
"Appeals to all Agatha Christie fans and to everyone who appreciates a well-crafted short story." The Observer
