[edit] Chronology of Poirot's cases

I have been doing some work on the chronology of Poirot's on the main Hercule Poirot page and think that the order given here is contentious. What is needed is really a full explanation of how the chronology can be assembled, using the retrospective references within the stories to show why one case must be after another. This is a big job, but would go some way to establishing the basis for what is given here. I have generally given intertextual references, where they exist, in the Trivia section of the pages on individual novels that I have edited. See also my comments on The Labours of Hercules on the other page. At the moment this is a very certain statement of a highly conjectural sequence. --Sordel 10:58, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
