Poirot solves crimes by depending on logic and the predictability of human behaviour, which is represented in his vocabulary by two common phrases: his use of his "little grey cells" and "order and method".

Particularly in the later novels, he operates as a psychological detective, rather than a conventional "clue-based" detective, not relying on painstaking examination of the crime scene as much as by enquiring either into the nature of the victim and/or the murderer. Central to his behaviour in the later novels is the underlying assumption that particular crimes are only committed by particular types of people.
