The Big Four by Agatha Christie

The Big Four by Agatha Christie
A Hercule Poirot Mystery
Publisher: William Morrow Paperbacks (January 2004)
208 pages, eBook (purchased myself for $6.64)
Book Rating: 4 Stars

Poirot has become aware of an international crime ring known as “The Big Four” and he seeks to find out the major players and put a stop to their dastardly deeds, but they lead him on a merry chase always eluding him at the last moment. Captain Hastings, newly returned from South America, narrates this story, and it features Inspector Japp and John Ingles as fellow investigators. Poirot tracks this group of criminals over the course of many months, trying to get his mind off it with a new case now and then, only to find out that the new case is related to “The Big Four” in some way. I enjoyed trying to figure out in each new scenario who Number Four (elusive master of disguise) was portraying. Entertaining Read!
