Abstract

Christie earned a reputation as the "queen of crime" through her 66 acclaimed detective novels. But Poirot isn't the reader's guide to this story - it's James Sheppard, a local doctor helping Poirot, who serves as the book's narrator. Through Sheppard's perspective, Christie manipulates and outwits the reader, building to an ending that feels earned in 2023 and was utterly shocking when the novel came out in 1926.
