Four master sleuths play four killers in an unusual game of bridge. For the host, what irresistible entertainment! Until his own murder becomes part the game.
There's nobody quite like Agatha Christie when she puts her mind to it, and that's what she's done [here].
More Reviews and RecommendationsAgatha Christie is nearly synonymous with upper-class British mysteries, for good reason. She set the standard for the genre in over 60 novels and dozens of short stories, also creating two classic detectives: the fastidious Belgian, Hercule Poirot, and English spinster Jane Marple. No one could match Christie's knack for weaving clues into her stories, then turning the whole thing inside out -- shocking her readers every time.

June 04, 2009: This is a great Agatha Christie novel, as usual. The characters are in their regular eccentric form, Poirot is his arrogant Belgian self, but there is one difference from the norm. The crime that is committed doesn't have as many tangible clues as you would usually see. It's much more psychological. Maybe not my favorite by Christie, but still an interesting read.

October 26, 2008: "Cards on the Table" is one of my all time favorite Agatha Christie books. The characters are well written, the plot will have you guessing till the very end. It is yet another A.C. book that I will reread for many years to come.
