Notice how the book stories are divided– The first several stories are about unhappy people who visit Pyne's office in the hopes of finding love or fulfillment.  The last several are more traditional mysteries– murders, theft, and kidnapping– occurring while Pyne was on vacation.  The two newly added stories are one jewel theft, and another "heart problem" on vacation.]]> A change for good ? https://community-archive.agathachristie.com/discussion/495/a-change-for-good Fri, 09 Jan 2015 12:42:52 +0000 Parker Pyne maryamalbulushi 495@/discussions
why agatha christie changed her writing style in this book from crimes to more into personal lives  and emotions ? was it because she got bored from crimes little bit and wanted to change and if that was it a change for good? or she wanted to cover up all kind of cases ??

Do you think it was a good idea to create P.P so he can share the page with other detectives , but as being human nature specialist or you think that he is not that much necessary character and a used to detective like ( poirot or marple) could've taken his place   in such  cases ?
