The other problem with the BBC offerings is that they are out of reading order, which adds to the confusion.
The Mysterious Mr. Quin
Agatha Christie
1930
This is a unique offering from the Queen of Crime. This "Agatha Christie Signature Edition" features the hero the world-famous author was most fond of - Mr Harley Quin, the enigmatic friend and counterpart of the rational Mr Satterthwaite. So far, it had been a typical New Year's Eve house party. But Mr Satterthwaite - a keen observer of human nature - sensed that the real drama of the evening was yet to unfold. So it proved when a mysterious stranger arrived after midnight. Who was this Mr Quin? And why did his presence have such a pronounced effect on Eleanor Portal, the woman with the dyed-black hair?
