From the official website of Agatha Christie, Limited:
One of Christie’s later regrets was that Hercule Poirot began his literary life too mature: “the result is that my fictional detective is well over a hundred by now.” And it is no secret that character and author did not always see eye to eye.“There are moments when I have felt: ‘Why-why-why did I ever invent this detestable, bombastic, tiresome little creature?’…. But now, I must confess it, Hercule Poirot has won. A reluctant affection has sprung up for him…” Agatha Christie’s introduction to the serialisation of Appointment With Death in the Daily Mail, 1938.Christie grew tired of Poirot’s idiosyncrasies so much so that she wrote Curtain: Poirot’s Last Case in the 1940s. It was locked in a safe until 1974 when it was finally published, earning Poirot a well-deserved obituary in The New York Times; he is the only fictional character to have received such an honour.
