The Big Four by Agatha Christie

I finally got round to joining my local library today. Should have done it ages ago, but the school library has been sufficient until now! I've taken out a few books, including a couple of Agatha Christie's that I don't think I've read before.

Well, I know I haven't read The Big Four before. I started it as I waited for H to use the internet in the library, continued on the DLR, and have finished it while watching Michael Jackson's Moonwalk and Newsnight.

This time Poirot and Hastings are trying to find out the identity of the Big Four, criminal masterminds from around the world who want to spread anarchy and fear in the world, and who may already have been responsible for some of the recent atrocities in the world. Needless to say, his little grey cells are put to work and he organises his evidence in order to try and find the answers before any more people are murdered. Lots of intrigue, as befits Agatha Christie.

funnily enough I picked up an Agatha Christie at a Clydeside garden centre. Decided I needed some light reading after boring Brick Lane. pmr
