The Big Four - Agatha Christie Tackles Action

After four successful Poirot mystery books and a string of others, Agatha Christie changed the formula with the fifth Poirot book. Instead of focusing on a mystery, Poirot is taken through a string of mini-mysteries, kidnappings, explosions and more. It's no longer about finding who did it, it's about surviving long enough to catch the bad guy. 00:00 Intro 01:02 Historical Context 07:10 Background 07:17 Age Level & Content Warning 08:26 Judge a Book by It's Cover 09:54 Discussion 11:33 Introducing the Big Four 16:02 John Ingle's Letter 20:00 The Missing Scientist 25:30 Abe's Secretary 28:15 The Yellow Jasmine 30:47 The Chess Master 34:26 The Chinatown Hideout 39:00 The Identity of Number 4 43:06 Getting Government Involved 44:31 The Dying Man 46:51 Poirot is Dead 51:01 Time to Act 55:48 General Thoughts 56:47 One Question for the Author 58:46 Rating 59:09 Read Again? 01:00:04 Favorite of the Series so Far 01:00:42 Outro TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/lunar_skulk⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lunar_skulk
