In The Mysterious Affair at Styles, Poirot operates as a fairly conventional, clue-based and
logical detective; reflected in his vocabulary by two common phrases: his use of "the little grey
cells" and "order and method". Hastings is irritated by the fact that Poirot sometimes conceals
important details of his plans, as in The Big Four.
Hercule Poirot is a fictional Belgian detective, created by Agatha Christie. Poirot is one of Christie's
most famous and long-lived characters, appearing in 33 novels, one play (Black Coffee), and more than
50 short stories published between 1920 and 1975.
Jane Marple, usually referred to as Miss Marple, is a fictional character appearing in 12 of Agatha
Christie's crime novels and in 20 short stories. Miss Marple is an elderly spinster who lives in the village
of St. Mary Mead and acts as a consulting detective. Alongside Hercule Poirot, she is one of the most
loved and famous of Christie's characters and has been portrayed numerous times on screen. Her first
appearance was in a short story published in The Sketch magazine in 1926, "The Tuesday Night Club",[1]
which later became the first chapter of The Thirteen Problems (1932). Her first appearance in a full-
length novel was in The Murder at the Vicarage in 1930.
Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie, DBE (née Miller; 15 September
1890 – 12 January 1976) was an English crime novelist, short story writer,
and playwright. She also wrote six romances under the name Mary
Westmacott, but she is best known for the 66 detective novels and 14 short
story collections she wrote under her own name, most of which revolve
around the investigations of such characters as Hercule Poirot, Miss Jane
Marple and Tommy and Tuppence. She also wrote the world's longest-
running play, The Mousetrap.[1]
Born into a wealthy upper-middle-class family in Torquay, Devon, Christie
served in a hospital during the First World War, before marrying and
starting a family in London. She was initially unsuccessful at getting her
work published; but in 1920 The Bodley Head press published her novel The
Mysterious Affair at Styles, featuring the character of Poirot. This launched
her literary career.
Edward L. Stratemeyer (October 4, 1862 – May
10, 1930) was an American publisher and writer
of children's fiction.
He was one of the most prolific writers in the
world, producing in excess of 1,300[1] books
himself, selling in excess of 500 million copies,[2]
and created the well-known fictional-book series
for juveniles including The Rover Boys, The
Bobbsey Twins, Tom Swift, The Hardy Boys, and
Nancy Drew series, among others.

Rex Todhunter Stout (/staʊt/; December 1, 1886 – October 27,
1975) was an American writer noted for his detective fiction.
Stout is best known as the creator of the larger-than-life
fictional detective Nero Wolfe, described by reviewer Will
Cuppy as "that Falstaff of detectives."[1][2]:287 The Nero Wolfe
stories are narrated by Wolfe's assistant Archie Goodwin, who
is presented as having recorded the cases of the detective
genius from 1934 (Fer-de-Lance) to 1975 (A Family Affair).
In 1959 Stout received the Mystery Writers of America's Grand
Master Award. The Nero Wolfe corpus was nominated Best
Mystery Series of the Century at Bouchercon 2000, the world's
largest mystery convention, and Rex Stout was nominated Best
Mystery Writer of the Century.
