About HPC

All opinions in this site are of the author's, James Hobbs. All information is as accurate as possible. Information on this site originate from the author's own ideas, observations, research, recollections, and findings. A complete site of Hercule Poirot and Agatha Christie is by no means intended. Hercule Poirot Central is not endorsed by Agatha Christie Limited or Acorn Media Group.

The reason why I've spent some time doing all this is to simply express my gratitude to a fine author who has made reading a great hobby to take up. Whether this will be of any benefit, I don't know. I, however, have learned much from doing this site. I simply want to show people my enthusiasm for such excellent literature thanks to Agatha Christie.

Support HPC

I hope you have enjoyed Hercule Poirot Central as much as I enjoy putting it together. It is a labor of love--a love for great detective fiction by Dame Agatha Christie. I want to simply share this admiration for her and her books with anyone around the world. This site has always been intended as a resource for information, opinion, discussion, news, and fun.

Running such a site as HPC, however, always requires maintenance and funding. I have always kept this site ad-free while offering free information (for 15 great years!), and I would like to keep it that way. I would also like to keep this site going. Would you? The financial obligations in keeping this site on the Internet include fees/costs for domain, hosting, security, and software (when something's free for the site--believe me--I get it). I don't mind the hundreds of hours I spend on this site! If you'd still like to see HPC in the Internet community, please show your appreciation and support.

Please continue to support HPC by donating something little. Donating $1 or $2 will ensure Hercule Poirot Central's continued existence.
