Description

In Agatha Christie’s classic mystery, Cards on the Table, the wily Hercule Poirot is on the case when a bridge night turns deadly

Mr. Shaitana is famous as a flamboyant party host. Nevertheless, he is a man of whom everybody is a little afraid. So when he boasts to Hercule Poirot that he considers murder an art form, the detective has some reservations about accepting a party invitation to view Shaitana’s “private collection.”

Indeed, what begins as an absorbing evening of bridge is to turn into a more dangerous game altogether.…

    This novel is a wonderful ride, with a suitable number of red herrings that keep you guessing and guessing. M. Poirot is himself brilliant and it is great fun to be on his shoulder as he solves this murder. Note: This book does contain ethnic, cultural and gender references that were thought appropriate in that time period. They are really quite startling to read on the page.
