One of Agatha Christies better books.

Hercule Poirot meets a Mr. Shaitana and gets an invite to a dinner party. At the party there are eight guests; four persons working in the murder business, and four persons that have a mysterious death in their past. After the dinner the guests play bridge in two different rooms, and Mr Shaintana sitting by the fire in the room with the four mysterious guests. When Hercule Poirot goes to bid his goodbyes he finds Mr. Shaintana murdered.

This gives the book an interesting premise; only four suspects, and four murder experts to find out who did the deed.

Mr Shaitana est un bien étrange personnage : longue figure, moustache cosmétiquée et sourcils en accents circonflexes qui accentuent son air de Méphisto. Et Mr Shaitana, qui est véritablement diabolique, s'est plu, ce soir-là, à convier à dîner huit hôtes triés sur le volet : quatre spécialistes du crime et quatre personnes qui seraient — à ses dires — des criminels assez habiles pour ne s'être jamais fait pincer. Il ne faut pas trop jouer avec le feu, fût-on le diable ou peu s'en faut. Au cours de la partie de bridge qui prolonge cette extravagante soirée, le rictus démoniaque s'effacera définitivement de la longue face de Mr Shaitana. Tout simplement parce que l'un de ses invités lui a donné un coup de poignard bien placé. L'un des meilleurs livres d'Agatha Christie sans doute.
