Agatha Christie · Harley Quin #1
1930 12 stories 78,359 words 5 hr 13 min

Mr. Satterthwaite is a spectator by temperament — a collector of other people's dramas, always at the edge of the room. Twelve times over, an old story turns out to be unfinished, and each time a stranger named Harley Quin arrives, asks a question or two, and leaves Satterthwaite to see what was there all along.

Christie thought these her own favourites among her stories. Harley Quin's debut collection entered the United States public domain on 1 January 2026.
