The only thing I remembered was the missing smell of cigarette smoke in The Market Basing Mystery (Poirot's Early Cases). Maybe there's another similar device in one of the novels but I can't recall which one.
Thank you! I don't think that's what I meant but it will do, thanks a lot!!
The only thing I can think of is (view spoiler), where the clue is a person who wasn't where they were supposed to be. That's a Miss Marple Mystery, though.

Also, can anyone help with another thing? I'm sure that murderers obtain alibis by changing the time on the clock in a great number of detective stories, but, of course, now I can't find any... Can anyone think of some? One would be enough... I have to reference the stories and my head is completely empty, haha

I too think it might be Death In the Clouds. Poirot has a list of the contents of each of the passengers' luggage and their pockets. (This is a closed-room mystery, in which the closed room is an airplane.) This list alerts Poirot to the culprit right away, even though he/she seems highly unlikely and (view spoiler) Naturally, Poirot doesn't reveal the murderer until after a great deal of activity, even though he knows almost immediately. But, being Poirot, everything must first come together.

If you like a Miss Marple Mystery there's one on Youtube. https://youtu.be/e2iLz5-mKFc?list=PLp... If you don't like Watching the small screen, just listen to it while you do something else. Either way, enjoy!
Agi,"The Clock"s Agatha Christie is a novel with Poirot : Sheila Webb, who works for Miss Martindale's typist-for-hire agency, arrives at her afternoon appointment on Wilbraham Crescent in Crowdean, Sussex. She finds a well-dressed corpse surrounded by six clocks, four of which are stopped at 4:13, while the cuckoo clock announces it is 3 o'clock. When a blind woman enters the house about to step on the corpse, Sheila runs screaming out of the house and into the arms of a young man passing down the street. Good luck

I'm looking for a Christie book where there is a list of things in a room (or a handbag or somewhere) and a thing that should be in there is not and that's the important clue. I'm writing my MA thesis on detective stories and CANNOT remember which book it is! I think it's a Poirot book where he tells Hastings (or someone else helping him with the investigation) that what's important is not there and it should be.
Can anyone help? I would be so grateful!!!
Thanks!
