Baca ini karena ada Inspektur Battle, dijadiin satu sama Poirot, mantul sudah. Tapi ya saya salah kalau berharap bakal jadi kayak Rahasia Chimneys atau Misteri Tujuh Lonceng, beda jauh banget. Dari awal saya nggak ada niatan mengira-ngira siapa pembunuhnya, ternyata keputusan itu lumayan pas juga. Kita dibuat terombang-ambing, menaruh curiga yang sama besarnya pada empat tersangka, bisa dengan mudah ketipu sama plotnya

Mr. Shaitana, a mysterious man who affects a sinister image, invites Hercule Poirot and three other crime-solvers to dinner, along with four other people. Unbeknownst to the other three sleuths, Shaitana has told Poirot that the other four invitees at the dinner has each committed a murder and gotten away with it. During a game of bridge after dinner, Shaitana is murdered with a small jeweled dagger from his own collection, and it's up to the four detectives to figure out which of their dinner companions committed the crime.
Agatha Christie included a short foreword stating that this was one of Poirot's favorite cases, but that Poirot's friend and partner in sleuthing Captain Hastings found it boring. Cards on the Table is a variation on the locked-room mystery, and, just as Christie said, devotees of the action-free, deductive style of crime-solving will adore it while those who prefer car chases and fistfights in their mysteries will be disappointed. Highly recommended for its red herrings and satisfying conclusion.

Like any other Agatha Christie mystery, there’s fantastic plot twists. The last 50 pages you are left on your toes, getting jerked back and forth between who you think the true murderer is.
