However, I'm against the theory that Cust committed these crimes without knowing he had done them. You might put that theory forward if it weren't for the letters. The letters knock the theory on the head. They show premeditation and a careful planning of the crime. (A. Christie, ‘The ABC Murders’, ch. XXXI) — И все-таки я против того, что Каст, совершая преступления, не ведал, что творил. С этой версией можно было бы согласиться, если бы не письма. Но письма не оставили от нее камня на камне.
