	Books - The Mysterious Mr. Quin

The Mysterious Mr. Quin (published in 1930) is a series of twelve short stories written by Agatha Christie. Each chapter or story involves a separate mystery that is solved through the interaction between the characters of Mr. Satterthwaite and the eponymous Mr. Quin who appears almost magically at the most opportune moments and disappears just as mysteriously. Mr. Satterthwaite is a small, observant man who is able to wrap up each mystery through the careful prodding and apposite questions of Mr. Quin.

In Agatha Christie's autobiography, she claims that Mr. Quin and the diminutive Mr. Satterthwaite became two of her favorite characters.

The collection of twelve stories include:

"The Coming of Mr. Quin"
"The Shadow on the Glass"
"At the Bells and Motley"
"The Sign in the Sky"
"The Soul of the Croupier"
"The World's End"
"The Voice in the Dark"
"The Face of Helen"
"The Dead Harlequin"
"The Bird With The Broken Wing"
"The Man From The Sea"
"Harlequin's Lane"
