A second hand book.
" 'Li Chang Yen is the controlling force. I have designated him, therefore, as Number One.
'Number Two is represented by an 'S' with two lines through it - the sign for a dollar; also two stripes and a star.
'Number Three
is a woman, her nationality French.
'Number Four...'
The voice faltered and broke. Some overmastering terror seemed to be gaining the day; the features were distored and twisted...
Four ruthless criminals seek world domination. Between them and their goal stands one man - the inimitable Hercule Poirot!"

This book came home with me from the BookCrossing meet up this afternoon.
Poirot in top form! And Hastings doing his best. I love it.

Like I could leave Poirot behind all alone on a shelf... I bet there'll be other Finnish readers to this one later.
Such a cool place for an exchange shelf!

I wasn't buying the greatness of the big four throughout the story, for the events thrown at Poirot seemed rather trivial. If they were such a threat to the whole world, how could they be so easily defeated in the end?

I took this Dame Agatha's crime novel from the Qwensel meet-up this morning :) I've read all her books several times - well, at least those that have been translated into Finnish. Previous time I read this was in September 2018 (https://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/14808705), so this copy will have to wait for a while now :) Thanks for the book and the book courier services, pippis!

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Taloyhtiön ulkoremonttia tekevien ilmeisen ammattitaidottomien ja huolimattomien korjausmiesten takia kotini lainehti vettä kahdesti kahden viikon sisällä. Purkuun menevät niin lattiat kuin (pieni) osa seiniä ja kattoakin, mutta kun sen ensimmäisen tulvan jäljiltä olin nostanut kastumiselta varjeltuneet kirjat sivuun ja tarpeeksi korkealle, uusia kirjavahinkoja ei tullut. Asunto on kuitenkin tyhjennettävä, joten kirjat(kin) ovat vailla uutta kotia.OBCZ Columbuksen hylly on jäänyt kauppakeskuksessa työmaa-aitojen sisälle, joten vien nyt kirjoja Itiksen kirjaston kierrätyshyllyyn. Käy nappaamassa sieltä luettavaa!
Enjoy reading!
