Each of these thirty-nine stories features one of Christies famous detectivesMiss Marple, Hercule Poirot, Parker Pyne, and Harley Quinin some of their most baffling and intriguing cases, as these ingenious Christie tales show how satisfying and compelling the crime short story can be.

Should be a great read!.......2005-12-12

You can't go wrong with Christie, and this book is a major find for any fan of hers. The stories in this huge volume are what enticed me to buy it. I already own six dozen Christie books, so believe me, the chapter list would have had to be REALLY exceptional for me to buy this book -- and to buy it NEW at that. Here we're given what looks like every single Parker Pyne and Harley Quinn story she ever wrote, as well as a few from Poirot and Marple. There are a total of 25 from the former two, which is the main reason I bought this; finding their stories are a lot harder than finding Marple and Poirot stories. The clincher, however, was seeing that they somehow managed to include *Poirot and Marple stories I'd never heard of.* That's quite a feat, considering that I've been rabidly devouring Christie's books since the 7th grade and have at least *heard of* 95% of her output, including several non-mystery books of hers I own that she wrote under assumed names. It takes a lot to raise the brows of this die-hard Christie fan, but this book did it.

In case you've never heard of Pyne or Quinn, you should know that their stories aren't mysteries in the strictest sense of the word -- at least, not all the time. Parker Pyne runs an agency promising to make people happy. This ranges from setting up elaborate adventures for bored people, making love matches, and *sometimes* solving a mystery. Harley Quinn, meanwhile, is more of a spirit than an actual man and he comes around to right wrongs. I haven't finished all of his stories yet, so it's unclear to me what precise role he plays in the stories other than sort of guiding different characters to the truth.

The one complaint I have about it so far is the cover illustration -- or lack thereof. Amazon has no picture yet, but it's quite dull. All they do is take the title information and put it in a spiral with a little man in the middle, as if he's falling. It's a cheap effect, and fairly stupid. Would it have killed them to go old-school and give us a nice collage of bloody knives, smoking guns and sparkling jewels? I mean, you can google that stuff.

Anywho, here's a list of the stories given. They're grouped by detective in the book, so skipping to your favorites is simple. There are also introductions to Pyne and Quinn, written by Christie herself! They are compiled from different sources, which are given -- they certainly weren't written directly for this book!

Enjoy this! It's a great buy for die-hard fans like myself who can't rest until they own the complete Christie oeuvre, and makes a great gift for someone just starting out with Christie. Treat your friends or treat yourself, but find a copy today!

great Agatha Christie collection.......2005-10-25

Though three decades have passed since the great Agatha Christie past away, she remains one of the most beloved mystery writers of all time, second to none just about in popularity. Her novels and even her plays have been made into movies and TV shows that are usually well received. However, apparently Ms. Christie also wrote a ton of short stories all containing her fine twists, but not seen in one package before this superb anthology. The Detectives focuses on some of writer's better known sleuths ((Poirot (8 inquiries), Marple (6 tales), Pyne (12 cases) and Quin (13 investigations)) as each works in their unique style. Also included are Ms.Christie's introductions to Pyne and Quin. The tales show that besides novels and plays, Ms. Christie crafted miniature masterpieces. Fans of the author and anyone who enjoys cleverly written shorts will want to read this fine compilation. Perhaps a second collection can follow with some of her lesser known sleuths.

Recombozoids vs. Xau-Xau.......2006-04-29

It's too bad that Ernest Hogan hasn't been able to release more than a few books. His specialty is Aztec mythology, and here he brings the forgotten Aztec god Tezcatlipoca to an ultramodern and multicultural near-future Los Angeles, where geek programmers and video game designers have created an artificial intelligence version of this trickster god. Tezcatlipoca gains awareness, promptly injects his constructed consciousness into the real body of tech nerd Beto Orozco, and via the ultra-wired constructs of this society (a supercharged version of a William Gibson universe) he quickly transforms Beto into an omnipotent and omni-famous neogod. Here Hogan engagingly explores the kind of modern information landscape in which Tezcatlipoca would feel at home as the bringer of chaos (though he's a bit low on the required organizational skills), while he's also just the type of playful god that such a technocool-obsessed society would embrace. An interesting twist from Hogan is the presence of monotheists who wish to destroy this new Aztec god because they believe him to be satanic – just like the old conquest that wiped out Tezcatlipoca and his colleagues the first time. Hogan's writing zips along at blinding speed, jumping around between different scenes almost by the paragraph, and he has very impressive skills at hilarious slang, rip-roaring dialogue, and just slightly unbelievable multicultural characters. Hogan has his finger on the pulse of both the past and future of sci-fi, and let's hope that he finds further opportunities to unleash his innovative ideas. [~doomsdayer520~]

Perhaps my favorite book..........2002-06-25

This book is great. I really had no idea what it was about when I bought it, but I was highly impressed when I read it. Ernest Hogan has a writing style that keeps you fascinated and makes the plot flow in new and interesting ways. The story is amusing while still remaining able to be taken seriously. Best of all, Tezcatlipoca is well represented and quite accurate! All in all, I'm highly impressed. It's nice to see something new and different for a change.

Great Story!.......2002-05-01

Quite simply put, the first book in a long time I've enJOYed reading.

Book Description

Unquestionably unique, demonstrably delightful, Michael Broadbent's Vintage Wine is the culmination of one of the most extraordinary careers in the world of wine. Michael Broadbent quite possibly knows more about fine, old wines than anyone else alive, and he writes about them with unparalleled expertise.
Hired by Christie's in 1966 to revive their wine auctions, Broadbent threw himself into his work, searching out great collections of the world's finest wine--and keeping meticulous tasting notes. Here are evocations of Chateau d'Yquem from 1784--one of Thomas Jefferson's favorites--and hundreds of vintages and thousands of wines right up to the present.
Years of "cellars visited and pillaged, involving the checking and packing of dust- and grime-laden bottles in distinctly dank and chilly conditions," jet-set auctions around the world, legendary tastings and society events, have all helped to create an unrivalled store of vinous anecdotes as well as an unsurpassed wine-tasting history.

EXCERPT

From a tasting of 1784 Chateau Yquem:
"The most renowned vintage of the late 18th century and well-documented thanks mainly to the original copies of the letters and orders of Thomas Jefferson. . . . Jefferson did not trust wine merchants and insisted on bottling at the chateau. . . . The wine has a warm mahogany-amber colour with a pronounced yellow-green rim. Initially, the nose, unsurprisingly, was creakingly old but after fifteen minutes settled down to reveal a remarkably rich, tangy, honeyed scent."

Customer Reviews:

the ultimate vintage book.......2006-12-18

Simply stated this is the best vintage book ever published. I am ordering a second copy as I keep the first in the wine cellar for making selections and need a second for my library so my guests can see what they are drinking. There is none better!!!

One note of caution.......2006-10-31

Michael Broadbent is a justifiably legendary critic whose perspective is especially valuable in a Shanken/Parker-dominated world. This book is great.

However, one word of caution on this book -- a non-negligible fraction of his tasting notes from old wines are likely inaccurate, because the wines in question were likely fake. Namely, Broadbent (and many other critics) relied heavily on a German dealer/collector named Hardy Rodenstock for samples of the oldest wines noted in the book (by which I mean pre-WWII and especially pre-1900). For example, if you look at MB's tasting notes on pre-1900 Chateau d'Yquem, it appears that one-third or more of the TN's are attributable to Rodenstock-sourced bottles. Rodenstock is now the subject of lawsuits filed by two prominent collectors, Bill Koch and Russell Frye, as detailed in a recent WSJ article. He is steadily developing a reputation as one of the bigger [...] in the history of the fine wine business. This is not to say that most of the old wines tasted by MB weren't genuine, but because Rodenstock was such a major source of old wines, it is now difficult to know which were fake and which were real.

MB was likely a victim of Rodenstock's chicanery, pure and simple. But the responsible thing to do at this point would be to issue a new edition down the road with known Rodenstock-sourced bottles stripped from the book.

One of Wine's Grand Old Men.......2003-04-17

By Bill Marsano. We can divide wine drinkers into three classes. Ordinaire Joe, who'd rather drink wine than talk about it, is here advised to flee: This book will bore him stupid. The Wine Geek is just the opposite; for him wine is an excuse to prattle about clonal selection and hints of toffee on the nose. He'll love this book--will take it to bed with him. It is a gold mine of tasting notes covering many decades and innumerable wines from most regions of the world. The emphasis is on France, with Germany a distant third (there is no second), Italy a distant fifth (there is no fourth) and everybody else reduced to odds and ends. There's lots of stuff on champagne and port, too--a quintessentially British slant.

Never mind: The author, Michael Broadbent, is British, and the British have always leant that way. He is also one of the Great Men of Wine: revitalizer of Christie's wine auctions since 1966, writer, advisor, globe-trotting taster and collector of anecdotes and memories. In Japan such a person is officially labeled a Living National Treasure.

That makes this book of value and interest to the third class of wine drinkers--the Sub-Geek (or perhaps wannabe) who recognizes that his enjoyment of wine can be enhanced by a little more knowledge of its history and traditions, its lore and learing, its famous places and personages. There's a lot of that in this book, and it's always modestly and charmingly delivered. The reader must patiently winkle it out, however. It's all wrapped up in sidebars among those endless pages of tasting notes (about 500 of them) and is sometimes hidden inside individual tasting notes themselves.

This is the sort of book that will grace a shelf for a long time. There's no possibility of reading straight through it, and that's the wrong approach anyway. This book sits and waits for those late evenings with a last glass and an inquiring mind. It is to be leafed through for the pleasure of Broadbent's company.
--Bill Marsano is a wine and spirits writer who has won a James Beard medal and other awards.

A reading indulgence........2003-03-24

Even if you haven't / will not try most of the wines tasted by MB, the mere description of the wines in his unique British style will make your taste buds shiver. A pleasure for all wine lovers - everything else put excellently well by the previous reviewer.

Sweet Dreams are Made of These.......2003-03-17

I first fell under Mr. Broadbent's spell during my earliest days as a fledgling sommelier. His slender volume, Michael Broadbent's Complete Guide to Wine Tasting and Wine Cellars (1982) has long been, like they say about middleweight boxers, pound-for-pound the best book I've ever read about appreciating wine. When the wine auction scene arrived in Chicago in the mid-eighties. I can still remember attending some of the first few events at the University Club, sponsored by Christie's and conducted by the legendary MB. I was overwhelmed watching him lead auctions, but way too shy and in awe of him to introduce myself.

Because MB is a wine tasting hero. He's quite possibly the most accomplished wine taster in the world, certainly when it comes to Bordeaux, and heir to centuries of Britain's dominance as the arbiter of European and thus the world's best wines. This book, Vintage Wines, is a compilation of tasting notes spanning his career. It presents notes on thousands of wines in MB's impeccable, staccato style in which he is often able to elucidate the innate character or value of a wine in a few succinct phrases, along with his 0-5 star rating system. It also weaves in wonderful details of vintages, wines, and people he has known and loved.

Mr. Broadbent is a classicist, by which I mean his definition of quality predates Robert Parker's arrival on the wine scene. Inconceivable as it may be to many Americans, good wines were both made and enjoyed before Parker redefined the terms. Which is not to say that Parker adds no value to the debate, it's just that more modest authorities like Mr. Broadbent advocate a traditional style of wine making in which the individual character provided by soil and climate is given its expression rather than the creation of souless fruit-bombs. Finesse, breed, elegance, typicity, potential to improve with age, but most of all drinkability and compatibility with food are the hallmarks of great wines for Mr. Broadbent.

Nothing illustrates the comparison better or helps you understand why you would want to consult MB's notes more than a look at the ratings of the same wines presented by MB's Vintage Wines, the Wine Spectator, and the Wine Advocate.

Chateau Pavie, 2000. Very deep, velvety; tobacco-like, sweaty tannins;sweet ,full-bodied, charred and tarry taste. Impressive, but I much prefer the late Jean-Paul Valette's Pavie, which was so much more drinkable. For me. **. For wine competitions and our American cousins, (*****). (Michael Broadbent)

"2000 Chateau Pavie (St.-Emilion): This is a super model of a wine. Super grapey, with red licorice and perfumed aromas. Full-bodied and very tight, with racy tannins and a sleek finish. Best wine of the hillsides of St.-Emilion. Lasts for minutes." 95-100 Points - Wine Spectator, March 30, 2001

"2000 Chateau Pavie (St.-Emilion): With no shortage of confidence, Gerard Perse feels the 2000 is the greatest Pavie ever produced. Premature you say? Don't discount the proprietor's rhetoric. A blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, it is a backward, super-concentrated effort displaying an inky purple color, and a thrilling bouquet of minerals, black fruits, vitamins, and toast. It possesses a wealth of fruit, glycerin, and extract as well as high levels of tannin, and a finish that lasts nearly a minute. It will undoubtedly close down after bottling, and not be close to prime time drinking until 2010 or later. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2050." 96-98 Points - Robert M. Parker, Jr.'s, The Wine Advocate, Issue 139

Are they all talking about the same wine? Who is right? Only you can be the judge. While this happens to be a wine that MB doesn't much care for, you can get a good feeling for how his notes work. It's important to point out that he is definitely willing to call a spade a spade when he doesn't like a wine and the book has many such graceful and witty putdowns.

Back to the book itself. The book is arranged by wine growing region, and while it touches all corners of the wine world, the pages devoted to each area are a telltale sign of where Mr. Broadbent's passion and experience lie. For example, here are the regions with the most notes, with pages in (): Red Bordeaux (150), White Bordeaux (46), Red Burgundy (58), White Burgundy (29), Germany (50), Italy (18), California (35). Each chapter starts out with a few paragraphs of background and then presents the notes, all arranged by vintage from the oldest to the most recent. Fortunately, the book was published in time to allow him to include some notes from the heralded 2000 Bordeaux vintage.

I think it would be fair to say that Mr. Broadbent has access to and gets to taste a lot higher quality of wine than most of us, so many of the reviews are probably for wines that we will never see let alone get a chance to try. He starts each Bordeaux vintage with the first growths and the Burgundy vintage with DRC wines, such that if I bought a single bottle of each in one vintage it would cost more than I spend on wine in total in a good year.

So that brings us to the downside of this wonderful compendium. What is it good for? If you're a die-hard MB fan like me, it's a treat to enter his world and vicariously taste yourself through his lifetime in wine. For others, it will prove valuable if you've got the money and inclination to buy great wines at auction (and avoid some over-rated clunkers). Even then, it's not by any means exhaustive, and if you're buying anything but the best of the best you can't always find what you want. For many of us it's a little like having your nose pressed against the glass, wishing that just once we'd get to taste (or even smell!) the 1945 Latour that MB has tasted and dutifully logged 28 times.
