My favorite is The Hollow - a Poirot - for many reasons. It's told from multiple viewpoints of the characters - all unreliable narrators. No Captain Hastings. An overall tone of gloom or foreboding. And the murderer sort of gets away with it - with help. And -- one of the greatest comic characters in a mystery novel - the possibly homicidal mistress of the country house that everyone protects. A chimera of slapstick comedy with Greek tragedy.
