Editing Method

As per Editing History style, we've swapped the gender of characters throughout the book. These are very small changes, but they bring a refreshing change and new points of interest in the otherwise original text!

Now, Madame Poirot is the famous Detective!

The names of key characters have required some changes to align with the gender swap, but I've used the female or gender neutral version of the original name wherever possible. 

I've also found and switched some racist words and phrases. Read more...
