The Big Four by Agatha Christie

3.0

I never thought I’d see Poirot against mafia but here we are. Somehow it just doesn’t go with his character? Most stories I’ve read with Hercule Poirot in them are cozy, mind boggling yet cozy and on a smaller scale. But for mafia like villains, I need more insight. I want to know why they are what they are. Who they are. How they got together. The writing also felt choppy but I read somewhere that Christie wrote and released the chapters are individually and it was later mushed into a book I think? So that makes sense. This was very much James Bond like however the story doesn’t match with Poirot’s usual cases. Don’t get me wrong, it was fun but needed more substance.
