Kljub svojemu osrednjemu mestu v kanonu detektivske literature zasedata najslavnejša junaka Agathe Christie, gospodična Marple in Hercule Poirot, v svojih fikcijskih svetovih »izsredni« položaj. Oba detektivska lika je mogoče razumeti kot marginalizirana Druga, ki predstavljata izziv za normativne predpostavke družbe, v kateri živita. Pri gospodični Marple gre zlasti za marginalizacijo na podlagi spola, njenega amaterskega detektivskega dela in zakonskega stanu, medtem ko Poirota kot Drugega implicirajo njegova tujost, ženstvenost in nevrološka atipičnost. Oba lika je mogoče pojasniti tudi v okvirih aseksualnosti in ju analizirati kot na videz heteronormativni kvir osebi. Članek razkriva, kako Christie uporablja status detektiva kot Drugega, da bi previdno izzvala prevladujoče ideje o avtoriteti, spolnosti, spolu in morali svojega časa. Z namenom raziskati besedilne in podbesedilne primere marginalizacije ter različne poskuse, da bi Drugi ostal v mejah normativne identitete, se analiza osredotoča predvsem na dela Umor v župnišču, Skrivnostna smrt v Stylesu, »Dvojna sled« in Zabava za noč čarovnic, pa tudi na njihove filmske in televizijske priredbe.
