The Mysterious Mr Quin series by Agatha Christie offers a unique blend of mystery, romance, and the supernatural, unlike her traditional detective novels. The collection follows the refined and observant Mr. Satterthwaite, who frequently finds himself drawn into mysterious situations—always accompanied by the sudden and almost magical appearance of the elusive Mr. Harley Quin.Each of the twelve short stories explores unresolved crimes or emotional dilemmas from the past, which are brought to light through conversation, observation, and intuition. Mr. Quin acts less like a traditional detective and more like a catalyst—guiding Mr. Satterthwaite to perceive hidden truths and emotional undercurrents that solve each case.Elegant, haunting, and deeply human, this series delves into the psychology of its characters, combining suspense with an almost poetic sense of fate and justice. Christie weaves atmosphere and subtle drama into every story, making the Mr. Quin mysteries a captivating and unconventional reading experience.Contents:- The Coming of Mr. Quin- The Shadow on the Glass- At the Bells and Motley- The Sign in the Sky- The Soul of the Croupier- The Man from the Sea- The Voice in the Dark- The Face of Helen- The Dead Harlequin- The Bird with the Broken Wing- The World's End- Harlequin's LaneVer libro

It's proving difficult for DCI Isaac Cook and his team at Challis Street Homicide to find the guilty person—not that they'll cease to search for the truth, not even after one suspect confesses.Ver libro

“What does a boy do when things go bad at home? Who does he tell when things grow worse? Leeland didn't tell anyone--or did he? BLIND EYE tells the story of Leeland's life on a remote ranch in New Mexico. No one paid attention to what he couldn't say. Would you have listened?” — Candace Simar, Spur Award-winning author of The Abercrombie Trail Series --- At the Bounty Canyon Ranch in Southeastern New Mexico, the bodies of Luke and Deona Pruitt are buried in a manure pit and their 14-year-old son Leeland Pruitt is missing. Deputy Sheriff Greenwood is called out to investigate the missing Pruitt family and discovers the grim scene. Leeland’s brutal upbringing was an open secret overlooked by neighbors and teachers for years. The community turned a blind eye as Leeland was moved by his cruel father from one remote ranch to another. And so, Deputy Greenwood begins a twenty-four-hour hunt to find and save the boy suspected of murdering his parents. Blind Eye is both a tragedy and a dilemma of moral conscience. In this tale of cultural complicity, the community, at best, looked the other way and, at worst, enabled abuse, leaving us all to ask, ‘What is too much to ask of a boy?’Ver libro
