The big female names in British novels of the 30s/40s would be P. L. Travers, Daphne Du Maurier and Dame Agatha Christie. Travers may have been Australian - I’m not quite sure.

[ChockFullOfHeadyGoodness]

One DQ left…

So, a good guy main character from a single Poirot novel published in the 30s. Not a recurring character like Japp. Good guy implies not the killer, so innocent suspect, victim, or bystander.

Adapted into a film. Hopefully that means feature film, as the TV series with David Suchet adapted every Poirot story for the screen. Best known stories are the two Kenneth Branagh adapted, Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile, which were also famously adapted in the 70s.

Final DQ: From a novel adapted to screen by Kenneth Branagh?
