Cards on the Table
by Agatha Christie
I'm not ashamed to admit that with this one, Christie led me completely by the nose right until the last line. And even then I was worried she'd flip the identity of the murderer again.
Cards on the Table is one of her more complex ones, speaking prose-wise. And no, you do not need to be an expert on bridge to understand the plot of this one. Although it does enhance the whole surreal experience.
The characters, as always, are complex, the plot is riveting and the fact that you get the top four sleuths from Christie's other books is a sweet, sweet bonus. The only part I didn't like was the fact that there was not a lot of involvement on Colonel Race's part in the story.
After reading The Man in the Brown Suit, I was really curious about his personality, but alas, the Queen of Crime chooses to keep him the dark again.
All in all, a wonderful plot- and a book that I finished in a day!
