I just LOVE a good whodunnit mystery and Agatha Christie is the master for sure!
A flamboyant man, Mr. Shaitana hosts a dinner for a group of eight unique characters. He challenges Hercule Poirot and three other sleuths to use their powers to identify the criminal and murderer from among the remaining four of his "chosen" array of dinner guests. Quite a curious dinner party? Shaitana, who prided himself on keeping and trading in the dark secrets of people, finds himself murdered by one of his own dinner guests. It is now up to the 4 sleuths among the guests to investigate who did it.
One of the best from the Queen of suspense and a Poirot classic - Highly recommended!

I really liked it, got me out of a slump but all the bridge talk got me confused since Idk the game. Anyway, Agatha Christie did it again folks.
I had read this book about 15 years ago But 1) It was in French and 2) I read the ending so fast that it didn't register with me who the murderer was. Now that I've finally read it, I'm glad that, months later, I'm penning a review for this quite original story. If I understand rightly, there are the four suspects and all four are murderers. The young girl who was a kleptomaniac was one, then there's the murderer himself. A quite original and riveting tale. Poirot is surprisingly present this once. I also always appreciate the fictional author, Ariadne Oliver, to make an appearance.
