Battle is notable for his stolid good sense, and he relies in part on the appearance of being a stupid or unimaginative police officer as a means to investigating his cases.

The detective denouement is a variant on the literary denouement common to mystery stories. ... Chief Inspector Japp is a fictional character of Scotland Yard appearing in many of Agatha Christies novels and stories about Hercule Poirot. ...
