This one‘s a little obvious, but it‘s a classic for a reason! #train #storysettings

OutsmartYourShelf
The Big Four (Poirot) | Agatha Christie
post image
Pickpick

Hastings returns from South America to see his old friend but arrives to find Poirot in the midst of packing. Poirot is about to leave for overseas on a case, but plans change when they both become embroiled in the latest scheme masterminded by a group called 'The Big Four'.

This book is a series of short stories arranged into a narrative which revolves around 'The Big Four'. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf Chases, set-ups, disguises, misdirection, & Hastings going undercover all feature. I found it a little bit of a let-down after 'The Murder of Roger Ackroyd' & some reviews said it was rather over the top & ridiculous, but I found that I enjoyed reading it. Hastings was not quite as irritating as usual although he still can't help doubting Poirot's methods. 3d
OutsmartYourShelf Overall it was action-packed for an Agatha Christie book. Not sure I can quite envisage the famously rotund Poirot climbing down ivy on the side of a house though! 4🌟

CaramelLunacy Ooh, didn't know this was set in Petra! 1w
Yuki_Onna @CaramelLunacy It's set in Israel at the very beginning (Jerusalem, me thinks), but then they go on to Jordan and visit Petra. Don't know how long they stay there, it's been so long since I read it, but the desert setting is still vivid in my mind. I enjoyed this one very much when I read it. 1w

2. My favorite way to prepare eggs is in the microwave. My mom taught me how to do it. I crack open 2 or 3 eggs in a cereal bowl, stir them up with a fork, heat them up for 1 minute, take them out and stir them up again. After that, I cut them up so they‘re scrambled, heat them up again for a minute and take them out. After that, I season them with salt and pepper or hot sauce.

Three in one set of Agatha Christie novels, featuring the murder of Roger Ackroyd, they do it with mirrors and Mrs McGintys dead. The murder of Roger Ackroyd has always been a favourite of mine.

Thoroughly enjoyable Hercule Poirot mystery. I guessed part of the denouement but not all of it! It was an original set up which i really liked. My favourite is still The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. And here are some autumn leaves for you from the Sunday markets 🍃🍂🍁

This one is a fairly fun if a little bland Christie mystery. Poirot is back yet again, but he seems a little tired. I guess it's good he's staying busy and keeping his mind sharp, and growing marrows in the country wasn't his thing, but he tries to retire and people just keep bothering him. Maybe he could open a school to teach younger generations to solve mysteries and grow elaborate mustaches so they can fend for themselves eventually.
