Working alongside various accomplices such as Captain Arthur Hastings, Ariadne Oliver and Inspector Japp, people would often underestimate him, something which he’d use to his advantage when solving a case. Solving murders through a series of clues and interrogations, he would pave the way for the modern mystery novel, being featured in a total of 33 novels and 50 short stories during Agatha Christie’s lifetime. A Belgian detective just as well known for his clear analytical insight as he was his iconic handlebar moustache, an industry has built itself around his name ever since his inception in 1920 with The Mysterious Affair at Styles. Seen as the godfather of fictional detectives by many, Hercule Poirot would lead the way in Agatha Christie’s pioneering mystery novel franchise. The ‘Hercule Poirot’ series is written by British writer Agatha Christie. As an Amazon Associate I earn money from qualifying purchases
