Detectives like Sherlock Holmes can be classified as arrogant, educated, European, males who use their wit to solve crimes and often do not align themselves with the authorities. Even in modern times, detective fiction is still dominated by males. With an abundance of detectives like Batman, Monk and Columbo, female detectives aren’t represented as…

To begin with, the tv show follows the rule that there must only be one detective. The only detective in the episode is Hercule Poirot. Secondly, it also follows the rule that there must be a corpse. The corpse is Mr. Davis. Thirdly, it follows the rule that the detective must have a sidekick who does not conceal any thoughts that pass his mind and is slightly less intelligent than the average reader.
