BookmarkTavern This is one of my favorite Christie books, and one of my favorite mysteries. Period. We all react like that. 😁 1d

BookmarkTavern If you haven‘t read them yet, I also recommend Murder on the Orient Express and And Then There Were None. 1d

The Big Four (Poirot) | Agatha Christie

so-so

I‘m reading along with #ChristiesCapers and this is our book for August and my #BookSpin for the month. If not for those two things, I don‘t think I‘d finish this. Maybe it‘s bc it came right after Roger Ackroyd but this was not fun. It was repetitive and often over the top. I just thought it would never end. Good thing Agatha Christie had quite a few more books to make up for this one!

Librarybelle, TheAromaofBooks

Librarybelle Yes indeed! I think this is my least favorite out of all of the ones I‘ve read by her. 2d

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! It also always feels like this one should come before Roger Ackroyd anyway - he literally ends this one saying he should retire to the country and grow vegetable marrows! 2d

MallenNC @TheAromaofBooks I had the same thought. The vegetable marrows thing was so specific 1d

We‘re a little less than 1.5 weeks away from our next #ChristiesCapers discussion!

This will be the third time reading this one for me, and I fully admit it‘s not a favorite of mine. I‘ve seen posts already that others may agree; the discussion will be interesting!

See you August 31st! #AgathaChristieClubR3

LiteraryinPA This is one of the few Agathas that I‘ve only read once. But everything is better when you discuss it with Littens! 5d

Librarybelle It definitely is, @LiteraryinPA ! 5d

MallenNC This is my first time reading it and I doubt I‘ll ever read it again. But I am looking forward to the discussion 4d

Librarybelle @MallenNC This seems to be the group‘s consensus. Should be an interesting discussion! 4d

“Pardon, my friend, but it is possible that you read ‘The Future of the Argentine,‘ ‘Mirror of Society,‘ ‘Cattle Breeding,‘ ‘The Clue of Crimson,‘ and ‘Sport in the Rockies‘ at one and the same time?"

I laughed, and admitted that ‘The Clue of Crimson‘ was at present engaging my sole attention. Poirot shook his head sadly.

"But replace then the others on the bookshelf!"

Poirot would be aghast at the stacks of books on my nightstand. ?

Ruthiella Many things about my habits would drive Poirot crazy! 😜 1w

willaful @Ruthiella thank goodness we don't have to live with him! 1w

BarbaraJean @Ruthiella @willaful Hahaha, right?! I think Poirot would take issue with more than just all the books on my nightstand. 😆 1w

willaful @BarbaraJean My mother would give him a heart attack. She was stayng with me a few days and almost gave *me* a heart attack! 😂 1w

@Librarybelle

Aims42 I thought so too! I‘m excited to talk about this one and hear what everyone else thought 1w

Cuilin It‘s hard not to compare her books with each other but some were so good others pale in comparison. 1w

Librarybelle This one is not a favorite of mine. 1w

willaful I know, it's so wild that she wrote such an amazing book and followed it up with this. She was only at the beginning though. 1w

After finishing the book, I read a few critical pieces that called this Christie‘s masterpiece. I don‘t disagree, although I have a lot of Poirot books to go and I hope to find other great ones. I think readers who pay close attention will solve the whodunnit before it plays out, but I celebrate the honesty and truth with which the author told her tale and allowed us to discover the culprit for ourselves.
