I've read plenty of Agatha Christie's work, and I have to say that this is quite different from anything else of hers I've read. Instead of being a single mystery, or a set of four medium-length whodunits, "Parker Pyne Investigates" is a collection of approximately seven or eight mini-mysteries, stylistically reminiscent of the classic Doyle "Sherlock Holmes" collections or, more recently, the board-game-inspired "Clue" series. However, just because it was different didn't make it any less enjoyable. If you like detective stories, you'll probably enjoy this.
