Where is Agatha Christie's Poirot set?

Answer 1

The first time he appears towards the end of WW1, whereas the last book is set in the 70s, I believe. However, most of the sort stores featuring Poirot are set in the Art Deco period (the 30s).

Answer 2

They cover a period of approximately 35 years (1919 - the 50s), but the short stories and the novels are set in different locations. Poirot was mainly an urban civilisation addict, so most of his adventures take place in London, but also in the country-side, on holiday in England and abroad (Greece, France, Syria, Iraq, Egypt), aboard ships or famous trains.

Answer 3

The producers of the television series starring David Suchet chose to set all of the stories in 1936 except The Mysterious Affair at Styles. In the books, however, the stories take place at various times from 1916 (The Mysterious Affair at Styles), and 1919 (The Affair at the Victory Ball) to 1963 (Third Girl). There is a distinct difference between the stories written before the war, in which Poirot's sole companion (if any) is Arthur Hastings, and those written after the war, in which Hastings rarely appears, but Georges, Miss Lemon and Ariadne Oliver appear frequently.

Answer 4

Agatha Christie's Poirot is primarily set in London, England, during the early to mid-20th century. The stories often involve Poirot solving mysteries in various locations around England and occasionally in other countries as well.

Answer 5

In the 50s.
