I thought this so profound; I immediately downloaded the book from Amazon to get the exact wording for use in the quotes thread. Well, guess what? There's nothing in the book even remotely similar to the line David Suchet uttered on the show.
I wonder where that line originated? with the television scriptwriters? from another Christie book? was it an ad-lib by Suchet?
All I know for sure is that I just blew $6.99 on a book to which I know the ending.

No you didn't - you don't know the ending! The real ending, that is! The script is almost totally UNLIKE the book - WAY different - viewers have been complaining - esp. this year - about liberties taken by screenwriters with the new Marple and Poirot episodes. I couldn't believe the changes for this episode. Read the book - it will be a new experience for you!
