De geheimzinnige Mr. Quin

Their contrasting personalities add a unique flavor to the stories, but I'm curious about the creative decision behind pairing them.

The way Mr. Quin appears seems almost magical, which is a bit different from Christie's usual straightforward detective tales. Was that intentional?

The stories are set in the English countryside, which adds a cozy yet eerie atmosphere. Did the location shape the tone of the narratives?
