Who would solve the Who-done-it first: Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple?
Having read every book Christie wrote (yes, I was a geek during my teen age years) I know Miss Marple Cheats. Poirot would lay it all out on the table, everything you needed to know to solve the crime. The fact that he could assemble all the pieces was a great trick. Miss Marple on the other hand pulled solutions out of thin air… She knew who the killer was because the way he acted reminded her of so and so who used to do xyz back in the old days… But she never told us about this until she pointed out who the killer was… So we had no chance of solving the crime until she did it for us.
