Poirot Investigates 🔎

[john-deco]

Agatha Christie Tumblr Fandom, I’m bored and wanna know your thoughts on the (so far) only Christie approved full body portrait of Hercule Poirot by W. Smithson Broadhead.

It fascinates me since it’s noticeably different compared to Albert Finney’s and David Suchet’s Poirot’s who are considered the closest to Poirot, with Finney being approved by Christie herself and Suchet being the family’s favorite (bar the small moustaches of course.

Jimmy Japp bets Poirot he can’t solve a crime without leaving his flat. Very very confident he will win.

Jimmy Japp loses.

I love this story so much.

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

My first Christie of 2024!

The is a collection of short stories, all featuring Poirot. I liked it and it was fun but I think I prefer Christie's novels to her short stories. She does a good job of crafting a short story and unraveling a mystery in so few pages, but it's not quite the same lmao.

Each of the stories in this collection felt distinct enough, though they basically all included a scene where Poirot called Hastings (and sometimes Japp) a fucking moron lmao. So overall a solid collection.

Free Poirot Investigates Typeset

Free typeset #32: Poirot Investigates by Agatha Christie, a collection of detective stories featuring the aforementioned detective! (Still continuing to work through suggestions from my ask box!) I had a lot of fun playing around with the design for this title page. The vintage ornament swirls were a bit reminiscent of Poirot's stache, and I really liked breaking up the frame with the revolver. Very similar to other designs I've done, but I hope it gives this title page a little flavor of it's own! Sized for half letter, this typeset can be found for FREE here in my slowly growing personal archives (aka yee good ol' Google Drive). I really hope I can continue adding more pdfs, so that I can have a little digital library to play around with when I can't go out to a real one. Anyway, any errors feel free to let me know! Interior shots below the break.

And if you use these typesets or would like to see more, please consider following/reblogging! Thanks!

A bit of a rant and reflection

First post on this blog that is not about Sherlock.

But I can sense a new hyperfixation kicking in.

My Dad made me watch a few episodes of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot (1989) and now I can only think of Sir David Suchet's unique accent and his distinctive way of walking.

I vaguely remember watching it when I was ten or eleven years old but I could barely understand anything back then.

And here's another thing. I'm sort of realising this while I'm typing this but, 2024 has sort of reinstilled my love for sleuths all over again.

It started with Benoit Blanc, working its way through Sir Kenneth Branagh's portrayal of Hercule Poirot, that crack youtube channel making me fall for Sherlock for a second time in eight years and the most recent one being the Belgian detective, again.

I hope I carry my reignited fascination with detectives and the world of mystery into the new year as well.

Who knows, I may be interested in the Granada Sherlock Holmes next 🤷🏻‍♀️

Cooking With Christie: Biscuits

Inspiration: Whilst cleaning out my mother-in-law’s old house, my husband and I ran across a very, very well loved Crisco cookbook. So loved in fact, the cover and title page are entirely missing, several pages are no longer attached to the binding, and the most used pages are foxed, sun darkened, and splattered with decades worth of flour, Crisco, and other mysterious substances. Recalling his…
