superwritermom 's review for:

The Big Four by Agatha Christie

---

It pains me to say it, but this isn't Christie's best work. It feels kinda crammed together because it is. She wrote this one at a particularly rough time in her life after the death of her mother and the divorce request from her first husband. I *think* this one is even after her infamous disappearance.

Don't get me wrong. There are moments with Hastings and Poirot that I really liked, but the overarching concept of some international organization didn't work here any more than it did inPassenger to Frankfurt. And the racism, particularly toward the Chinese. Lawd. That I did not care for at all.

Anyhoo, the quest to read the Complete Works of Christis continues.
