But...It Had to Be One of Us!
I love a good isolation trope, and these authors use it to excellent effect. Islands, manor houses, retreats, oh my!
Team Poirot
Ahh, Hercule Poirot, that brilliant detective with the little grey cells and the fussy mustaches. I'm #TeamPoirot forever, but I'm always on the lookout for a sleuth who can come close to matching his whodunit prowess.

Agatha Christie was actually on #TeamMarple, apparently. The Marple novels definitely have more of a small town cozy feel to them and an acidic wit. I personally prefer Poirot, but the always observing Miss Marple had her charm.
