Hercule Poirot Marathon

I am a self proclaimed mystery lover. After being tired of reading and working all day in a non fiction world, I need my quota of fun and fiction. Mystery is the best medicine to treat all my daily frustrations. And speaking of mystery who can forget the Belgian, Hercule Poirot. Agatha Christie created this peculiar detective that still captures mind of many mystery lovers. Of course he is a horizon away from Sherlock Holmes. Poirot's fairly odd personality and his methodical way of detection is simply entertaining. And David Suchet has portrayed this great detective with amazing grace as if he is Hercule Poirot. Poirot's attention to cleanliness, careful dressing style and the great mustache has kept me under spell all these years. I recently came across many Poirot episodes on You Tube. If you enjoy the mystery as much I do, I will encourage you to dive into You Tube. Since it's Spring break I am running episode marathons and just enjoying being surrounded by old British characters. It's been a while since I got hooked onto something. There are many more episodes to enjoy and so let me just go back to my marathon.
