common link Hercule poirot - doesn't work

"The Mysterious Affair at Styles" gave the world the inimitable Hercule Poirot, a retired Belgian police officer who was to become one of the most enduring characters in all of fiction. With his waxed moustache and his "little grey cells," he was "meticulous, a tidy little man, always neat and orderly, with a slight flavour of absurdity about him." (The New Bedside Christie Companion...)

Christie wrote more than 30 novels featuring Poirot. Among the most popular were "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" (1926), "Murder on the Orient Express" (1934), and "Death on the Nile" (1937).

Are the Numbers a Chapter, Paragraph, Line, Letter cypher thing to each novel?

The bigger #'s are on the ends as if they are letters in a line/sentence.

I thought about that as well.. but it just wouldnt make sense since there are probably about 30 different pressings of that/those books, and the pages would be different for everyone..

I don't think so, with all the various editions of her works, there are a gazillion different possible pagination combinations for each novel you'd have to know the exact edition used by "Loki" to get it right. these clues are supposed to be hard, not darn near impossible! :D ... I hope.

Some one find out if any of her books have some significance with the letter H

In Orient express they suspected the wrong person because they thought a cyrillic(sp?) N was an H, so once they realized it was actually an N they found the right suspect. Also if the H/N connection in the cyrillic alphabet is important, there might be a link up there with the Metapuzzle indicating "Odessa"
