I would bet Miss Marple FR> would solve the case faster than Poirot, or so I would like to believe. FR> She is a favorite of mine, while I don't really care for Poirot at FR> all. I seldom watched MYSTERY! when he was on, but I would never miss FR> a "Miss Marple" story. No, you read my message correct, I did want Miz Christie to write a story with both Poirot and Miss Marple. But I didn't ask who would solve the case faster....I like them both, but will have to admit, I tend to like Miss Marple a little more, myself.

The novel in which Vandervalk is done in by Saint is brilliant, one redolent with fleurs du mal. And Arlette's work in finding the murderer is superb.
