Well this was definitely unlike any of christie’s other works. Instead of her usual murder mysteries of “Who did it?”, this book is more of a sum of different cases in which there leads a direct tie to four people referred to as “The big four”.
Honestly, at the beginning of this, I did not find “The Big Four” to actually be a real organization..maybe it’s because of how different this story was compared to christie’s other ones, but I honestly thought the whole thing was a sham.
In this book, I was kinda disappointed by Poirot and felt he wasn’t hercule poiroting as usual. A few things that I instantly guessed at seemed to pass by him which was very..odd. It felt like christie diminished some of poirot’s qualities in order to make it seem as if he finally faced his “biggest challenge”. I was still entertained by the book though. Poirot definitely fooled me with that “twin brother” act.
