I do enjoy the audio recordings of this, and other Poirot novels, read by Hugh Fraser, who played Hastings in the British TV series. Unusually for Christie, this book also suffers from a surfeit of characters who share too many similarities of age and circumstance. I did enjoy meeting her sister, who shares some of the same no-nonsense qualities that make Miss Lemon such a valuable secretary. I wish Christie had given readers more of Miss Lemon when she had the chance in this novel. Miss Lemon persuades Poirot to investigate a series of.

She must know that dogs have 100 times more nasal sensors per unit area than humans, and that a large dog will also have a much larger olfactory area. As to her K9 training, we are told repeatedly how, in training, she learned to trust her dog's signals, but she repeatedly discounts his reactions and overlooks the obvious. The dialog is equally immature it sounds more like a young adult novel. ![]() She is portrayed as having trust issues, but in fact, she behaves as if all her feelings about men are new to her. She seems to relate well enough to children and other women, but acts like a young teenager around men instead of a woman in her early 30's. ![]() On the one hand, Mattie is supposedly a tough lady and clearly trying to be a dedicated officer. I really couldn't decide what I thought about the protagonist, Mattie Cobb, but the dog is the real hero.

We are put on the defensive from the first lines of the story, when the narrator says he doesn't "expect" us to believe him, and that he won't even ask us to (1). This means he gives us reason to doubt one or more aspects of what he tells us. ![]() Like many Poe narrators this one is unreliable. He's a "central narrator" because he's talking about things that he did or things that happened to him, rather than things he watched, or heard about. So, the unnamed narrator of "The Black Cat" is obviously a "first person" narrator. You know the narrator is a person because he or she uses pronouns like "I," and "me." By contrast, a "third person narrator" is not a definite person, but usually a disembodied voice of unknown origin. A "first person" narrator is a narrator who is also a person. ![]() |
