I read this a few years ago. It is a Poirot mystery. Very good one I thought, an interesting puzzle with a twist at the end as Dame Agatha keeps us guessing between 4 suspects who commit a murder during a game of bridge. I don't recall which edition I read, so I picked the one indicated here because I liked the art on the cover.

Another amazing Christie book! I liked the idea of uniting Poirot, Mrs. Oliver, Colonel Race and Inspector Battle in one novel, and how well they interacted with each other and complimented each other, with their unique manner of investigating. Of course, the final word was obviously Poirot's, but still, I like that they respected each other as detectives - official ones or not. Also, it was full of twists and misleading, and the culprit was quite unexpected, which is classic Christie. I enjoyed how she balanced 4 detectives and 4 suspects and how each of them as guilty in their own way. I haven't read this one before and I liked it a lot! I would love for Miss Marple to be in it, I'm curious to see how she would interact with Poirot. I hope I can find a novel where they work together some day!
OMG! I felt so dumb reading this book. First I know nothing about bridge, tried to read about it, got it more confused.
Then, I decided to ignore the game and attend to the facts. Everybody were murderers but really the ending was so, so disappointing. I would prefer that Miss Meredith to be the murderer because it made it more plausible than that!
That actor in the end made me SO MAD!!
I made so many annotations, I was so sure about so many, except the one.

Not the best of the BBC radio dramas, but I can't help thinking it might've been more enjoyable if I'd been more familiar with bridge. You'd think I'd know plenty about it by now after having it crop up in approximately half of British literature...
