* Supporting evidence: One of Agatha Christie's other detective characters, Harley Quinn, actually is by WordOfGod a supernatural figure who shows up where he's needed. If one, why not another?

The reason that Poirot allowed the killer to commit suicide rather than being arrested in ''Murder of Roger Ackroyd'' was out of respect for Caroline and fear that she would be disgraced by the revelation of the truth. So it seems highly likely that if the manuscript of that case were published, the names of all people and places would have to be changed first. According to this theory, "King's Abbot" was actually St. Mary Mead, and "Caroline Sheppard" was actually Miss Marple, with just enough details about her changed so that her neighbors wouldn't recognize her if they read the account of the crime.
