Hercule Poirot

These whodunits have distinct phases. First there is some kind of isolation of a group of people. Then their reasons for why they might want to kill someone are outlined. Then the someone is found dead. Then all those reasons are worked through again in more detail and finally the revealment of the killer is made and maybe an explanation of the piecing together.   Seems I don't need to read another Hercule Poirot.  He is a bit annoying. I think these stories are better watched than read. Evil under the Sun was the 19th title in 1941 with another 14 more after it.  I wonder if they got more and more complex over time. I may have to read some more of them after all.
