Her stage play, The Mousetrap, stands as the world's longest-running play, performed from 1952 to 2020. She also holds the world record as the bestselling fiction writer of all time (two billion copies) and the most translated individual author. Most of her works have been adapted for television, radio, video games, and graphic novels, and more than thirty feature films are based on her work.

The Big Four

fullDescription

"If one man does not make a move, the other must, and by permitting the adversary to make the attack one learns something about him."

In The Big Four, Hercule Poirot investigates a string of murders that appear to be disconnected on the surface, but Agatha Christie's Belgian detective sees the only tiny detail that links them all together. For some obscure reason that Poirot is determined to uncover, the number four keeps popping up with every killing. Poirot soon learns that there is in fact an international crime gang dubbed "The Big Four," and he sets off after them. With Hastings once again at his side, Monsieur Poirot travels all over Europe to find them, but the pair are always seem to be a step behind this shadowy syndicate.

This audiobook features the original twelve linked stories as they first appeared in The Sketch periodical, before Christie re-worked them with her brother-in-law to create the novel, The Big Four. Originally titled The Man Who Was Number Four: Further of Adventures of M. Poirot, this collection not only sees the return of Hastings and Inspector Japp, but it also introduced to the world Achille Poirot, the identical twin of Hercule Poirot himself!

Featuring original advertisements from The Sketch, and an introduction by Gabrielle de Cuir.
