Right, P_Lombard! This quote is from Lord Edgware Dies.

"I appeal to your imagination, and you can suggest nothing more subtle than bombs in the fireplace."

That sounds like Poirot in the Big 4 to me.

Ok, here goes:
’He was just scared stiff. Scared stiff from the start.’

Tommy_A_Jones

Jacqueline De Bellefort in Death On The Nile talking about Simon Doyle

No, it’s not from death on the nile

Tommy_A_Jones

Is It Mrs Redfern talking about Mr Redfern in Evil Under The Sun?

P_Lombard

Is it Sarah King speaking about Raymond Boynton in Appointment with Death?

No to Tommy and no to P Lombard. It’s neither of those (people or novels)

HerculeAndAchille

Is this character from a Poirot?

HerculeAndAchille

Is it Spence speaking about Bentley in Mrs McGinty's Dead?

Mrs Blair

Yes, congratulations!

HerculeAndAchille

Thanks, Mrs Blair! That was a difficult one to get.
Here's my go:
"He was a man of a certain vanity, but he was also a man who very much enjoyed indulging his own proclivities for mischief."

Tommy_A_Jones

Is it Hastings talking about Poirot in Curtain?

HerculeAndAchille

No, it isn't from Curtain.

HerculeAndAchille

It isn't from The Mysterious Affair at Styles either, I'm afraid.

HerculeAndAchille

No to both.

Is it a T&T Book?

P_Lombard

Is it George Barton speaking about Victor Drake in Sparkling Cyanide?

HerculeAndAchille

It isn't a Tommy and Tuppence novel, and the quote is not from Sparkling Cyanide, though I agree it does sound like a description of Victor Drake!
