The Mysterious Mr Quin

'A problem is not necessarily unsolvable because it has remained unsolved.' A brilliantly gripping collection of short stories, The Mysterious Mr Quin showcases the Queen of Crime at her very best. Published in 1930 during the early stages of Christie's career, The Mysterious Mr Quin follows the enigmatic Harley Quin and his socialite friend, Mr Satterthwaite, as they unravel a series of thrilling mysteries. Whenever Mr Quin makes an appearance, with his quiet, unsettling and almost otherworldly nature, sinister truths and hidden pasts soon rise to the surface. With Satterthwaite's help, Quin hunts not only for clues and alibis, but also unveils deep rooted emotion, secrecy and the unfinished business of those involved to solve each of the unique cases at hand. An effortless blend of classic detection fiction with hints of the supernatural, Christie crafts an elegant, reflective and captivating anthology of tales where justice is achieved in the most unexpected of ways. Agatha Christie (1890 – 1976) was an English author.
