James Parker Pyne is a retired government employee who considers himself to be a
"detective of the heart." Advertising his services in the "Personal" column of
The Times, he works
alongside his secretary Miss Lemon, novelist Ariadne Oliver, handsome "lounge
lizard" Claude Luttrell and disguise artist Madeleine de Sara.
The first six stories deal with Pyne solving cases in England, while the second six stories detail Pyne's

others anyway.Contents1 The Case of the Middle-aged Wife2 The Case of the Discontented Soldier3 The Case of the Distressed Lady4 The Case of the Discontented Husband5 The Case of the City Clerk6 The Case of the Rich Woman7 Have You Got Everything You Want?8 The Gate of Baghdad9 The House at Shiraz10 The Pearl of Price11 Death on the Nile [unrelated to Hercule Poirot novel of same name]12 The Oracle at Delphi
