I dislike poirot... He is not brilliant as Holmes is. But some cases are so brain twisting..

agatha christie has admitted that poirot has been inspired from holmes only...well,poirot has been portrayed as brilliant but a little vain about his "little grey cells" as he himself says😆

He is not so interesting as Holmes was and doesnt look good...bald headed, small man. But Holmes persona was apt to a detective with hawk eyes, tall 6ft with heavy voice. May be thats the reason.

ya, even i like holmes more....have you seen the movie "murder on the orient express"?...there poirot wasn't shown as bald,but agreed even then he didnt look smart....but you must have noted that even in the novels whenever poirot's clients meet him for the 1st time,they dont get impressed and do not have much confidence in his sleuthing skills...he has been portrayed like that only..

Orient express was a good one...poirot is bald headed as per stories. Anyway it is related to psychology anf fw follows her way. The hipnotism, face changes etc is from her side.

Holmes cases are thrilling , and thus I like it more. It needs brain and strength and doesn't focus on medicines or psychology.

yupp, but the secretary is not with him now 😕.
Earlier all CID cases were as good as Holmes cases..like 639 coins or injured witness. These days they just focus onmysterious and unbelievable things.


Have you read ms.marple's 13 cases? 13 small cases as one novel? it was so fine to read.

Nandini, his books are not so easy to get as SH books.


13 problems was a saga of some peoples crime experiences.
there was a simple technique with Agata stories...the murderer will be suspected and avoided in first part and then avoided completely...atlast he will be the killer.

moving finger is an excellent example.
