		The works that feature Hercule Poirot, Arthur Hastings, Jane Marple and Ariadne Oliver are listed in Appendix A of the Bibliography.
		For example, both Felicity Lemon and Ariadne Oliver first appeared in Parker Pyne Investigates, but both went on to become staple characters in the Poirot novels.

	Golden Age Mysteries - Best sleuths
		Ariadne Oliver is IMO the best Christie detective besides Poirot and Marple.
		AC's other occasional detectives do not meet the criteria of Marple and Poirot, but I do admire Ariadne Oliver (especially in "The Pale Horse" -- a late masterpiece).
		Tommy and Tuppence are just so-so, excepting their first incarnation as 'bright young things' of the Flapper Era -- amusing stuff but pretty much flan; in their older years they are basically stodgy dullards.
