skeiser 's review for:

The Big Four by Agatha Christie
3.0

Closer to 2.75. The Yellow Peril (not to mention the Red Menace) make for an at best unseemly and at worst racist baddie, though the story itself has some highlights, including a villianous Marie Curie-esque scientist, and Death By Chess. I'm at the point where Poirot (and Hastings, and the mysterious "Achille Poirot") are the main attraction, though hopefully there are less stories like this in the Poirot saga, in spite of our Belgian detective considering this his most important case.
