Major Hector Blunt is a stock character in Agatha Christie novels: the “blunt,” stoic, not particularly bright military man. Blunt never really seems to be a prime suspect in the murder, but he’s shown to be hiding something: he has feelings for Flora Ackroyd, and at the end of the novel, the two of them are engaged.
