Agatha Christie’s <i>The Big Four</i> enjoyed commercial success at the time of its publication in 1927, despite lukewarm critical reviews. Deviating from her earlier writing style, Christie presents several smaller mysteries within a larger one. Renowned private detective Hercule Poirot, pulled into a world of intrigue and espionage, sets out to break up an international group of four criminal masterminds. In this follow-up to <i>The Murder of Roger Ackroyd</i>, Christie has crafted an action-packed plot filled with colorful characters whose aim is world domination. The offbeat novel takes readers on a fast-paced thrill ride from England and France to Belgium and Italy.
