This was a fun romp of a book. In The Big Four, Hercule Poirot uncovers a dastardly plot to seize control of the whole world! It's all recorded from the point of view of his earnest but slightly dimwitted side kick, Captain Hastings. It started out a bit slow and Christie's outdated use and characterization of 'Chinamen" jarred a little, but overall a fun take off on international spy thrillers with Poirot at the helm.
This is the 5th book in the Hercule Poirot series. Two thumbs up if you want a light mystery.
