The ABC Murders was a really good read. I definitely recommend it! And if you've already read it then I'd be more than up for discussing how great it was.

I mean, Obviously, Poirot's not even close to better than Sherlock Holmes but he's pretty good.

Sometimes, even with all the evidence put away correctly .. innocent people will end up convicted. It's a flaw of the system, not the science behind it.

[miniholmes]

But you can't ignore solid evidence

[herrin]

Evidence can be manipulated.

[miniholmes]

That's why I want to be a great detective-so that falsified evidence won't trip me up.

[herrin]

I'm afraid you don't understand me.

The interpretation of evidence can be manipulated.

[miniholmes]

Not if the detective does their job right it can't.

[herrin]

Actually, that would be the job of the lawyer.

[miniholmes]

But if you go over every little step of the culprits crimes and then reveal the evidence, they can't really get out of it can they? Especially if you can draw a confession from them.

[herrin]

As I said.

In a perfect world.
