How each Poirot Murderer Failed

Enter either the name of the murderer or the book they appeared in using only the description of how their plan failed thus allowing Poirot to discover that it was them that committed the crime. The clue will generally be the main clue that reveals the culprit, and maybe one of many things:
A slip-up on the murderer's behalf, or one of their accomplices'.
A piece of evidence or conversation that led Poirot to realise who the killer was.
The elimination of a previously suspected culprit/scapegoat that then reveals they were framed.

How the Murderer's Plan Failed
Murderer/Book
She did not understand the reference to "Paris" in Greek Mythology, when her alibi meant she should have known. She also misplaced a Pince-nez belonging to her maid in her scapegoats bag.
Jane Wilkinson in "Lord Edgware Dies"
Amy Folliat referred to the supposed victim as already deceased when the fact was unconfirmed at the time, revealing that the woman the murderer was masquerading as was killed long ago before she pretended to disappear.
Hattie Stubbs in "Dead Man's Folly"
Referred to an ornament of wax flowers on a table that she could not have possibly seen unless she was at Enderby Hall at the time pretending to be her victim.
Miss Gilchrist in "After the Funeral"
A comment by the victim "everything tastes foul today" reveals that he had drunken something else foul before the previously though poisoned beer from his wife. This lets Poirot know she was framed, and that the murderer poisoned the victim's beer beforehand.
Elsa Greer in "Five Little Pigs"
One of the witnesses saw a brooch worn by the murderer with their initials on it reflected in the mirror. Poirot realises that they are in fact A.T and not T.A as he previously thought, because it was a reflection, which leads him to the identity of the killer.
Arabella Tanios in "Dumb Witness"
Poirot discovers an empty bottle once containing red ink, letting him know that the murderer must have used this to fake the gunshot wound he had used an excuse for not being able to commit the crime. Poirot also realises that three gunshots were fired the night of the murder: one to fake the murderer's injury, one to kill the victim, and one to actually give himself the injury afterwards as an alibi.
Simon Doyle in "Death on the Nile"
The killer could remember very little about the game of Bridge the suspects were playing when the victim was murdered, but could remember the layout of the room perfectly. This is in direct contrast with what the other suscpects could remember, and is due to the killer focussing more on how to execute the murder than the game.
Dr. Geoffrey Roberts in "Cards on the Table"
