Unless stated otherwise, most of the facts about Christie, Poirot, and Marple come from this most helpful website: https://www.agathachristie.com/

The texts I consulted to type these characters:

Poirot: https://www.agathachristie.com/stories/the-mysterious-affair-at-styles

Marple: https://www.agathachristie.com/stories/the-thirteen-problems

Here’s that link to the “10 Commandments”: https://www.writingclasses.com/toolbox/tips-masters/ronald-knox-10-commandments-of-detective-fiction

And finally, if you’re really interested and feel like you want to wade through some murky narratological waters, here’s a link to Janelle’s master’s dissertation on Agatha Christie’s use of narrative focalisation: https://www.academia.edu/3569914/Concealing_the_Story_A_Study_of_Agatha_Christies_Use_of_Narrative_Focalisation
