Poirot Short Story Character Lists
Agatha Christie was a prolific writer and along with the 33 Poirot novels she wrote, she also created a huge body of 50 short stories (51 if you include the forward of The Labours of Hercules as a separate story). These stories have been collected together in various publications over the years and below you will find the most comprehensive character list for all these works. Agatha Christie came up with over 400 characters for these tales and within these lists we have included not just characters who appear as ‘live’ characters within the stories but even those that are perhaps deceased in the story or just referred to by other characters to make this character index as complete as possible. Being the sleuth for each one of these stories, I have not listed Poirot out individually as a character in each one – it is taken as a given that he appears in the,m, but I have included as many characters as possible from every Poirot short story to assist with any research fans may be completing – I hope it proves useful. As always, if there are any inaccuracies or character;s we’ve missed then please let us know so we can add them to the database as we want this to be as complete as possible.
