Is she in her Poirot era?

Dearest readers (and other users of Tumblr), you may know that I have dedicated some of my insomniac hours to listening to the Sherlock Holmes audiobooks and recounting the bizarre plot points. Yesterday evening, the Spotify algorithm decided to throw something new at me: the adventures of Hercule Poirot. Therefore, I have consumed the short story, "The Disappearance of Mr Davenheim" from the collection "Poirot Investigates", published in 1924. Here are my observations:

the dynamic between Poirot and Hastings is pretty similar to that of Holmes and Watson, in that both have a smartass and an everyman. Holmes seems fonder of Watson than Poirot is of Hastings

Holmes is perfectly happy to gallivant around Europe for various cases and visits Tibet at least once. Poirot takes great pride in the fact that he solves a case without leaving his armchair

Poirot talks about how difficult it is to disappear, especially when you're relatively famous and your family puts descriptions of you all over the newspapers. Two years after this story was published, Agatha Christie herself vanished and wasn't found for just under two weeks, despite fans searching and a fair amount of media attention. The coincidence is so notable that I assumed the book was written after Christie vanishes as a meta wink to her readers

Anyway, that's all I really picked up on. Any Poirot fans out there? Apparently the new Kenneth Branagh film is abysmal

Watched Murder On the Nile with my sister and her husband. I told them what my tech and design mentor from college said regarding costume design: “The only people who wear red dresses are bad girls and Asian brides.”

One time I went on a date to see one of the Hercule Poirot movies and he didn't like it and said Agatha Christie was a "bad mystery writer and too predictable" so I ghosted him and now the only predictable mystery he is solving is why I don't respond to his texts
