A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

The Big Four (Hercule Poirot #5) - Agatha Christie

Hercule Poirot is back for another case in this interesting book. It isn't like the normal cases, and I read that it was originally twelve short stories. That made sense.

The Big Four is an international criminal organization. Over a period of months, Poirot and Hastings have encounters with various members. They can't narrow down the identity of Number Four, but eventually all four of the main players are identified. The problem now is catching them.

I can't read many Hercule Poirot without having an idea of what's going to happen. I watched the David Suchet series, so I remembered parts of this one. The story was okay, but it wasn't as interesting as many of the other Christie books I've read.

The book entered the public domain in 2023, so if you're interested in reading it, you should be able to find it available for free. It wasn't the worst thing I've read lately, but it won't stick in my memory as one of the better ones, either.
