The Big Four: A Hercule Poirot Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

If you are looking to start reading Agatha Christie, please do not pick this book. It is a slight affair, cobbled together from sub-par short stories at a time in her life when she was under a lot of emotional duress. This book shows all that by making Poirot into a stereotype of a generic Holmes, always pulling rabbits out of nowhere. There's even a twin brother and too many disguises to be believed.

Death is scheduled on the calendar; not interrupting anyone too much, creating volunteer charity work to do. Solving various problems at crime scenes and tying up loose ends in the days afterward. The victim is always the area the crime scenes are in; the deceased has a first & last name. Money is a bit separate from area company supply stores; therefore, is directly applied to a person's worth. The calendar is first priority set by companies for their supplies and employee schedule; money is for worth. Emotional language is reserved for the weather and never agrees well with characters. It usually their scene and they want to use their words for the area; weather ones just don't fit. They always lose their argument.

The first book I've read through entirely on my own and had inspired me into reading more often. Vert capturing, each chapter revealing more and more.
