Cards on the Table
by Agatha Christie
Yet another fascinating mystery by the Queen of Crime!
A fancy art collector, Mr Shaitana invites 8 people to a party; 4 sleuths including our loved Hercule Poirot and 4 people who he knows have gotten away with murders and could be very well able to commit another.
After several rounds of Bridge, the host is found murdered using an unusual object and the only possible suspects are the 4 people present in the room.
We know from the beginning that it’s one of those 4 people who could’ve managed to kill him but how Poirot and Inspector Battle unfold the case and the suspects’ past was so gripping! Not to forget the psychological aspect of the case the Bridge game involved was so interesting to read.
Like all Christie mysteries, I’m a fan of the characters she create and their involvement in and out of the case.
The only miss for me was the rushed ending which I felt made it a little too confusing.
I give this one 3.5/5 and recommend it for mystery lovers who enjoy a psychological play.
