Some were romances, some had supernatural themes and a couple were adventures. The common link was that all came from the talented pen of Agatha Christie, all were entertaining and each drama was carefully crafted and well cast with many of Britain’s best known actors of the time represented.1.The Case of the Middle-Aged Wife:When Mrs Packington, whose husband is paying more attention to his young secretary, answers an ad in the papers reading, ARE YOU HAPPY? IF NOT, CONSULT MR PARKER PYNE, she soon finds herself being dazzled and swept off her feet by the handsome Claude Luttrell.2.In A Glass Darkly:Matthew Armitage is startled by a vision in his mirror: he sees a man with a scarred neck strangling a beautiful blonde. He later meets the woman in his vision, Sylvia, and notes her fiance’s scarred neck. Mathew tells Sylvia of his premonition, and the engagement is broken off. But is that all there is to it?3.The Girl in The Train:George Rowland, a bored playboy, disowned for the seventh time by his wealthy uncle, is on the train to London. When a beautiful girl bursts into his compartment frantically begging to be hidden, his life changes dramatically.4.The Fourth Man:A canon, a lawyer and a psychiatrist find themselves together on a train bound for Newcastle. There is a fourth man in the compartment, who apparently pays no attention to his companions’ animated conversation.5.The Case of the Discontented Soldier:The recently retired Major Wilbraham is bored and unhappy so he answers Parker Pyne’s newspaper ad.

Help!” from a nearby cottage. He runs up to find a beautiful French girl, Felise, placidly weeding the garden, oblivious to any disturbance. When the Jack hears the same cries for many days he begins to think he might be mad. But are more sinister forces at work?8.The Red Signal:Dermot West is invited to dinner at the home of Jack and Claire Trent. The first is his best friend, the second, the woman he loves.

He neglects to mention that he is getting the signal strongly that night!9.Jane in Search of a Job:Jane Cleveland lands a sought-after job as double for the Grand Duchess of Ostrova during the latter’s state visit to England.
