读过 The Big Four 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑
Reddit 上有不少人说 Agatha Christie 全集值得一读，但我很快就遇到反例了；Poirot series 第四弹，但不是本格推理，据说是硬汉派，即正面大战罪犯或甚至集团，这书的犯罪集团莫名国际化：叫 The Big Four，即四大天王，首脑是中国人，据说连列宁和托洛茨基都是他的傀儡，第二席是美国首富，第三席是法国疯狂科学家，第四席是英国 Detroyer，中二但剧本稀烂，我读了四分之一就不读了；Agatha 写出这烂作应该因为当时正值一九二六年，遭到母亲去世和婚姻破裂的双重打击，于是整整年就只匆匆出版了这一本，而且还是多个单元剧编纂起来的；写作背景也是一战，当时流传一战背后有幕后操纵的阴谋论，以及 Li Changyan 原型即傅满洲。
