For the past few weeks I’ve been amusing myself on tedious car journeys by listening to old Poirot tapes. It strikes me that, in more cases than not, the arrogant little Belgian bastard comes up with a ridiculously implausible explanation and then arranges for the “guilty” party to die, neatly avoiding a fair and reasonable trial. In every case so far he allows at least 2 more murders before revealing his suspicions. People drop like flies wherever he shows up.
The exception, of course is on the Orient Express when the little shit still acts as judge and jury. (Not giving anything away here)
Anyone fancy having a non-topical crack at a sub about his (or every other fictional detective’s) eventual arrest and trial as a megalomaniac serial killer?
