A Mysterious Case Of Time Travel (Poirot fanfic / crime + romance)

Katarzyna (Catherine) is at an age where life is supposed to settle into predictable patterns. According to the novels, adventure and romance are for the young. Devoted to her career, she embraces a solitary lifestyle-working remotely, living alone, and finding companionship only in her loyal dog. She envisions spending the rest of her days just like this. But fate, it seems, has other ideas. She's suddenly thrust 100 years into the past and crosses paths with the eccentric Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. This fateful encounter sets off a chain of events that will forever change the perspectives and destinies of one confirmed bachelor and a modern woman.

This story is inspired by Kenneth Branag's portrayal of Poirot and the character of Katherine (the photograph), and will describe some events from both Christie's books and Branagh's films (SPOILERS!) while being faithful to neither.
