Poirot
Mustachioed Belgian investigator
Hercule Poirot is the fictional Belgian detective created by Agatha Christie, appearing in thirty-three novels and over fifty short stories.
The fastidious, mustachioed investigator relies on his "little grey cells" rather than physical evidence.
His name has become shorthand for a meticulous, methodical detective: She fancied herself a regular Poirot, noticing every detail.
