was watching Hyouka's episode 11 when i thought it was interesting what they brought up! haha. they were trying to resolve a mystery in a self-made class video, to find out the original intent of the person who wrote the mystery cos she fell ill before she could finish writing it. the person who 'solved' it said that the writer used a narrative trick (in which the narrator was the murderer), but was subsequently challenged cos the writer who wrote the mystery has only read Holmes before (the sherlock holmes series) and said that it's not possible as Holmes never had a narrative trick. it only came out during Christie's time.

having read all of the books in the Sherlock Holmes series, and endeavouring to finish all of the books by Christie now, i can say for certain that that was a fact that was correct! Actually in Christie's books so far, i've only read the narrative trick once. hahaa. but it's true that Holmes had never had a narrative trick!

i feel so proud to be able to ascertain a fact used in the anime! LOL
