The Big Four by Agatha Christie (Book Beginnings & Friday 56)

 


Title: The Big Four
Author: Agatha Christie
Publication: 27 January 1927
Formatpaperback & ebook


Amazon Description

A ruthless international cartel seeks world domination! Framed in the doorway of Poirot's bedroom stood an uninvited guest, coated from head to foot in dust. The man's gaunt face stared for a moment, then he swayed and fell. Who was he? Was he suffering from shock or just exhaustion? Above all, what was the significance of the figure 4, scribbled over and over again on a sheet of paper? Poirot finds himself plunged into a world of international intrigue, risking his life to uncover the truth about 'Number Four'.

 Ramble-y Teaserish Stuff

I couldn't decide what I wanted to read next so asked my child to "pick a shelf between one and three." So, being my child, he chose four and said that meant the stairwell corner shelves that are home to my Christie collection (and a few others). Even better? The next title on my chronological reading (and sometimes re-reading) happened to be The Big Four. Obviously my child is a genius of some sorts.

Sadly work was far too crazy to get anything really read and this is my first time for this one so I can't tell you yet how amazing it is (because Agatha ... and Hastings), but I did manage to grab the blips to be able to post something.

I like an Agatha Christie. I haven't read many, but those that I have read I have enjoyed. I haven't read this one.

Have a great weekend!

I've read a fair bit of Christie, but I've never read this one. I'll have to check it out!

I really need to read more Agatha Christie. I always try to catch Poirot (1989) when it come on.
