I am a companion to old ladies, and live with my ill sister and our Pekinese dog called Augustus. I have have a genius for criminality which I am trying to supress, and think my mind turns to crime because I long for excitement.

Amy Carnaby from The Nemean Lion, the 1st labour from The Labours of Hercules. She also appears in the 10th labour The Flock of Geryon. She is one of the most intresting characters from the Poirot mysteries. The Labours of Hercules is one of my all time favorite Agtaha Christie books.

I am a young mother, returning to my father's riverside house following the death of my husband. I have come here for comfort, for a return to the familiar warmth of my family. But something does not feel right and when my father returns from a business trip to the North, bringing with him a young and beautiful woman, my sense that something evil is lurking becomes tangible.

I am a famous retired stage actor. I have knack for hosting rather lethal parties.

Yes, MissScarlet107. You are right. It is Sir Charles Cartwright from Three Act Tragedy.

I am a quiet, well mannered young woman. I own a few 'pieces' of value but other than that I am without much fortune. And while I am what one would call a 'plain jane' I have brains to compensate for my looks. I am no fool except where my heart is concerned.

No. Remember, mon ami, that this character is plain looking and w/o much fortune.

Oh my WINNE! How could you call Linnett Ridgeway Doyle a 'plain jane'?And also she's definitely not "without much fortune". In the book Death on the Nile it says that "money and looks- It's too much! If a girl's as rich as that she's no right to be a good-looker as well. And she is a good-looker."

Hey, all. :)
I thought this forum could use a "Guess the Character" game, seeming as there are so many characters throughout the wonderful world of Christie. It's a pretty simple format. You pretend that you're describing the character in 1st person.
e.g.
"I am a Belgian detective, infact the most famous detective in the world. I like to use my little grey cells and I love to take great care with my beatufiul moustaches".
Okay, that's obviously Poirot. When the next person guesses right they can post one and the game carries on like that. :)
I'll start with the first 'question'; an easy one.
"I am a famous American actress, married to a Lord. Our marriage is on the rocks at the moment, and I'm afraid I've fallen for a rather wealthy Duke".
