“I state without fear of successful briberyOne Christie book is as good as a libery.By the time you close it, murmuring “Splendid!”You’ve already forgotten how it ended.The crime is baffling, the plot Promethean,The solution is mixed with waters Lethean;Whoever is fingered by Hercule PoirotIs out of your head by this time tomorrow,And the hundredth time you enter your ChristeryThe same thick mist envelopes the mystery."
