Has anyone else ever found that a character that seemed tedious at novel-length was more palatable in short fiction?
The last time I read any Poirot was in a mystery reading group several years ago, and he didn't hold up well for me, but perhaps I should try the short stories. In the novel we read in the reading group (don't remember which one, now), Poirot struck me as an annoying egomaniac. I don't remember hating him when I read Christie 30 years earlier.I liked Miss Marple.Cathy
Margaret Rutherford. By a mile.Not that she was anything like Miss Marple in the books. She was what Miss Marple might have been.
