AE104 Mrs. Ariadne Oliver

Ariadne Oliver is a fictional character who often assists Hercule Poirot in his cases through her knowledge of the criminal mind. She frequently claims to use ‘female intuition’ with decidedly mixed results…

Although Ariadne Oliver is usually referred to as ‘Mrs.’ nothing is known about any husband.

Agatha Christie herself said that the character of Ariadne Oliver does bear a strong resemblance to her own character and she wishes that she could also have had some of Ariadne’s independent spirit and sense of adventure.

Our K&C ‘Ariadne’ reflects a degree of that ‘independence’ and ‘strength of character’.
