"Si un hecho no encaja en la teoría, abandone la teoría."

Cómo amoo las novelas de misterio, más cuando son de este estilo en el que tú también puedes ir tratando de descubrir quién fue, TE AMO AGATHA CHRISTIE, que gran novelista de misterio en serio. 

"En su ansiedad, el criminal ha encerrado tanto la red que un simple corte dejará a Inglethorp en libertad." 

Y como me pasa cuando me voy acostumbrando al estilo de escritura de alguien, me tomo por sorpresa el final, yo tenía mis sospechas y tras, que equivocada estaba. 

"Debemos ser tan inteligentes como para pasar de tontos."

Ame lo divertido que es Hércules Poirot, su sentido del humor me saco varias carcajadas y el como resolvía y llegaba a las conclusiones.
