Dumb Witness by Agatha Christie - Book Review
Dumb Witness by Agatha Christie – Book Review
I’m always delighted to come across a Christie mystery I’ve never read before. This Poirot and Hastings adventure, dedicated to Dame Agatha’s beloved dog Peter, is held back from the true vintage status by some glaring plot weaknesses, but still had enough ingenuity and light humour to keep me happy from page to page.

What I love about Columbo is that he's aggressively Just Some Guy. Like he has weird personality quirks like all the best fictional detectives, but unlike Holmes or Poirot, they just make him more Just Some Guy-ish. He has a basset hound named Dog. He doesn't iron his trenchcoat. He loves his wife. He drives a junky car.

You’ve heard of fuck, kill, marry now here’s murder, die, solve. (if this exists I'm going to be so embarrassed, but I am honest so I am not going to google it.)
Everyone knows if you invite Miss Marple or Jessica Fletcher to your party that someone will get dead. What if your party was only sleuths?
please reblob so I have something to live for. thank you. I hope a dog looks at you and wags its tail.

Ok, but hear me out
Tintin and Poirot.
Two Belgians set around the same time, both fighting and solving crimes and going to ridiculous places to do it
But think of how hilarious the dynamic would be
You have Poirot, who takes careful precision and time and perfection in everything, who thinks and uses those little grey cells of his to figure out every detail, every possible error
And then you have Tintin, the teenager with the dog who will spontaneously decide to fly a plane to goodness knows where chasing after rumours and barely thinking before running into danger head-on and somehow still wins a gunfight with no gun while still being a completely logical person who completely baffles literally everyone
It would be hilarious and iconic
"Now, Monsieur Tintin, if you are going to sleuth about, please take the utmost care and use those very intelligent grey cells of yours that you often forget you have and please, mon cher ami, leave the dog. He will make noise."
"The dog's name is Milou, and he goes everywhere with me."
"He will ruin our plans. You cannot tame a wild animal; they get in the way and get you in trouble."
"... well, if I am to be honest I get myself in trouble and Milou is the one who gets me out of it-"
"Good gracious boy, remind me why I decided to work with you again?"
"Because I'm Belgian and I've never failed a case?"
"How you have not I still do not know."
"I beg your pardon I handle myself absolutely fine!"
"You go into gun fights without a gun."
"And? I'm still alive to tell the tale, aren't I?"
"Miraculously."
Of course the cases always go mostly smoothly (though there are several times Tintin is accused because he was, as usual, in the wrong place at the wrong time and when Poirot isn't stressing over Tintin's childish yet effective recklessness, they have a nice cup of tea and talk about human psyche and behaviour while eating cake.
Also, Poirot is very happy because Tintin is one of the few people who says his name correctly
The joy is reciprocal when Poirot calls him with the Belgian pronunciation of Tintin (it sounds more like a nasal tantahn, it's hard to explain) and they have great fun discussing in French about their adventures
It would be so fun honestly
