Audio Book Agatha Christie Short Story: Parker Pyne Investigates 07 / 12 Mystery on the Orient Express: Have You Got Everything You Want? Elsie Jeffries, a young and attractive woman, boards the Orient Express at the Gare de Lyon, visibly anxious. As the journey begins, she notices a suitcase labeled "Parker Pyne" in the next compartment. This sparks a memory, and she checks The Times' personal column, expecting something that isn't there. In the restaurant car, she meets the suitcase owner, Parker Pyne, known for his advertisements in The Times offering to solve personal troubles. Elsie confides in him about her fears: her husband, Edward, a strict and puritanical man, has been working in Constantinople. A week ago, she discovered a suspicious message on a blotting paper in his study, suggesting something would happen to her "just before Venice." Pyne promises to help. As they near Venice, a fire alarm rings out. Elsie and Pyne find a Slavic woman pointing at smoke coming from another compartment. The conductor assures everyone there's no real emergency. Pyne, however, remains suspicious and later finds the woman in Elsie's compartment. After she leaves, Elsie discovers her jewelry missing. The Slavic woman is detained, but the jewels are not found and she is released. Pyne and Elsie puzzle over the missing jewels, which couldn't have been thrown overboard due to the train’s position on a bridge over the sea. Upon reaching Constantinople, Pyne meets Edward, who returns Elsie’s jewels. Pyne reveals to Edward that he knows the jewels were replaced with fakes before he left London, orchestrated to be "stolen" at the most convenient point of the journey to avoid suspicion. Edward confesses he was blackmailed by Mrs. Rossiter, who scammed him in the West Indies. Desperate for funds, he took Elsie’s jewels. Pyne advises Edward to confess his mistakes to Elsie, omitting the blackmail details, ensuring Elsie believes she has redeemed her husband.

added it in edit, from my own collection. in the middle of putting together a video of some of the music I use in the audio books along with a few other tracks. other people have also have ask, thankyou for listening
I would never want my husband to lie to me! Would rather be married to a mug than a reformed Don Juan. Agatha really didn't know a lot of the relations between men and women.
If you knew something about Christie’s life you might draw a different conclusion. It may also be that your view of those relationships may be different from Christie’s. You might also consider the difference in social mores of the respective times.

Really? The fact that you disagree with Christie’s view doesn’t make her wrong. I personally think she had an acute appreciation for the peculiarities of human interaction.

In all the Christie I have read or listened to this is the first one she gets so very wrong.

Dame Agatha must have been very old and somewhat doty when she wrote this contrived nonsense.
Good story. PPs comments concerning women/wives at the end is erroneous and condescending, though.
