Famed private eye Hercule Poirot tackles international intrigue and espionage in this classic Agatha Christie mystery.

Framed in the doorway of Hercule Poirot's bedroom stands an uninvited guest, coated from head to foot in dust. The man stares for a moment, then he sways and falls. Who is he? Is he suffering from shock or just exhaustion? Above all, what is the significance of the figure 4, scribbled over and over again on a sheet of paper?

I normally find Agatha Christie to be a riveting read but this was pretty boring. It lacks the unity of plot of a proper novel. It is a series of episodes, only unified by the theme of Hercule Poirot investigating and uncovering the identity of one of the villains. Most Christie fans and scholars agree that The Big Four isn't her best. Kuddos to the Queen of Mystery for trying a different story out but this one was utterly a bore. ( )

Horrible.

Agatha Christie seems to have a legendary status as a mystery writer, but up until recently, I've read very few of her books.

I took a long time in reading this one. I liked it better than the previous one I read which was a series of short stories--though a couple times in this one it felt like Christie had some short stories that she made fit the Big Four plot.

I guessed a couple of the twists because they were also used by Conan Doyle in Sherlock Holmes books. ( )

there are parts of this that are fun and obviously the way he solves the crimes is at least interesting, but overall this was way too much swagger and bluster for me, with utterly ridiculous plot devices. poirot obviously actually cares about his friend hastings, but he treats him abominably, to the point that it was hard to read about it. i know this was written almost a hundred years ago (so i'm ignoring the racism) but i really dislike the way she mentions something randomly and then it immediately becomes pertinent, in the same way i never like the way every conclusion that poirot amazingly (and with no evidence, often) leaps to is always correct. he annoys me more than compels me, i think. and her use of just about every possible trick and method of murder in this one was way over the top for me.

A very odd Poirot novel. He & Hastings travel around trying to locate The Big Four supervillains who want to take over the world. Poirot comes across as a sub-standard James Bond. Give me a closed country house / train / ocean liner setting with a small group of suspects & a murder any day. NB. Reading other reviews I understand this was 12 short stories mashed together - and it shows in the disjointed novel. ( )

I have met people who enjoy a channel crossing; men who can sit calmly in their deck-chairs and, on arrival, wait until the boat is moored, then gather their belongings together without fuss and disembark.
