Ten beloved stories from the Queen of Crime

“Thrills, intrigue, and romance” —The Sunday Telegraph (U.K.)
“Entertaining” —San Francisco Chronicle

As seen on PBS’s Mystery!

From renowned mystery writer Agatha Christie come these 10 tales of intrigue and romance set in Art Deco-era England. In these suspenseful stories, lesser-known Christie protagonists—including “happiness expert” Parker Pyne—find themselves embroiled in illicit love affairs, supernatural mysteries, false accusations, life-changing encounters, and murder. These classic adaptations are “an engrossing, mystery-lover’s treasure from beginning to end” (Library Bookwatch).

The star-studded ensemble casts include John Nettles (Midsomer Murders), Amanda Redman (New Tricks), Christopher Cazenove (The Duchess of Duke Street), Ralph Bates (Poldark), Cherie Lunghi (Secret Diary of a Call Girl), Maurice Denham (All Passion Spent), James Grout (Inspector Morse), Stephanie Cole (Doc Martin), and Rupert Everett (My Best Friend’s Wedding).
