Cards on the Table: Or, Poirot is Obssesed with Bridge
The amount of focus on the card game of bridge really tested my PATIENCE. If I had to hear another recap of the bridge scores, I would've lost it. Oh, wait, sorry, I should be revieiwing this, not complaining about bridge. What started as an intriguing plot bringing together four of Christie's detectives at a dinner party with four potential murderers quickly devolved into a convoluted and intricate plot of many coincidental and somewhat plausible circumstances.
Despite his obsession with bridge, Poirot manages to be the smartest one of them all (DUH) and he brings together the complicated solution after just a lil bit of murder and confusion.
**Also, was it me or was there a bit of casual racism in this novel?? DO better, Dame Agatha!
