Sinossi

The Big Four is a tale of international intrigue and espionage, featuring famous detective Hercule Poirot, and his companions Arthur Hastings and Inspector Japp. An unexpected visitor called Mayerling comes in through Hercule Poirot's bedroom and collapses on the floor. The only clue to what he wants is his repeating Poirot's name and address and writing the number 4, many times. When Hastings jokingly calls it "The Mystery of the Big Four," the man begins speaking about an international crime cartel of that name. He describes the four leaders: Number 1 is a Chinese political mastermind named Li Chang Yen; Number 2 is probably American; Number 3 is a Frenchwoman; and Number 4 is known only as "the Destroyer." The man dies soon after and Poirot and Hastings go off on the trail of the Big Four.

    A Séance kind of evening 
     
     
     
    It was almost as if someone wrapped the room in a cold hand, chill in the air triggering goosebumps on my skin. I caught motion in the corner of my eye, turned in time to see a glowing, ghostly figure float through the pocket door and come to a halt at the far end of the table. This time, rather than a static image, the young man raised both arms, eyes black pits of emptiness, mouth gaping open as he reached for Emelia. Who screamed and reached back. "Manuel!" 
     
     
     
    I'd be nominating Sadie for an Oscar for this performance. Right after my terror at this new and utterly believable trick allowed me to breathe. 
     
     
     
    When the psychic leading the seance she's attending ends up dead, Fee can't help but feel like her bad luck yet again put her in the wrong place at the wrong time. With Sheriff Crew Turner ordering her to stay out of it or else, her father, retired from the force or not, egging her on and a string of murders begging to be solved, she can either go home and be a good B&B owner or find out whodunit!

    Everly doesn't want to talk to restless spirits, and she definitely didn't sign up to help murdered ghosts resolve their unfinished business. All she does want is to forget about her rotten, cheating ex-husband and return to a quiet life in her quaint, cozy hometown. 
    But when she stumbles across her high school boyfriend's murdered body—and his ghost—Everly's fresh start begins to look more like paranormal purgatory. 
    Hudson Montayne is dead, pushy, and somehow even more annoying than he was at seventeen. And he refuses to rest until Everly pieces together the clues and finds his killer. 
    Only Hudson's murder is just the beginning. Small-town secrets rarely stay hidden, and the more Everly uncovers, the clearer it becomes—someone will stop at nothing to keep the truth hidden. 
    And in Mooselick River, everyone’s watching.
