Problem at Pollensa Bay
Parker Pyne is on holiday at the Hotel Pino D’Oro on the island of Mallorca. Unfortunately also staying at the hotel are two fellow British guests, Mrs Adela Chester and her dutiful young son, Basil. When Mrs Chester discovers that Pyne is a ‘wizard’ at solving human problems she calls on him to save Basil from a most unsuitable marriage...
When this story was published in the USA in 1936 in Liberty it was entitled Siren Business which is a very appropriate title given that it features the beautiful and decidedly vampish assistant of Parker Pyne’s Madeleine de Sara, aka Maggie Sayers from Streatham, South London. Published in Problem at Pollensa Bay and Other Stories and in The Regatta Mystery and Other Stories.
