The murderer: It's the perfect crime, nobody will ever suspect me!
Renowned private detective Hercule Poirot:
You read The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and you go, "Huh, I really wasn't expecting that ending." And then you go on with your business thinking that Poirot maneuvering the murderer into a corner and dangling suicide in front of them is an unexpectedly brutal bit of early installment weirdness. Maybe you go on tumblr to make a meme about it.
And then you get to the end of Peril at End House and you sit there having a 'two nickels' moment.
And then you read Dumb Witness and it begins to dawn on you that oh. No. Poirot is literally just like this.

Please read Curtain: Poirot’s Last Case to see how serious Poirot is about this.
