kathleen_d 's review for:
The Big Four
by Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie didn't like her novel The Big Four.
Now that I've read it, I don't like it either.
I didn't know this while reading it but she owed her publisher a novel but her mother had recently passed away and her marriage broke out. She wasn't in the mood. So on the advice of friends she strung together some unpublished, unfinished short stories making modifications so they linked together.
It certainly explains the uneven feel to the tempo, and while the story doesn't make sense.
