A review by davidlz1
Cards on the Table by Agatha Christie

5.0

This was my first Agatha Christie novel. I have been a huge fan of Poirot and Miss Marple mysteries on Masterpiece Mystery, A&E, Biography, etc. However, I have never taken the time to actually read one of the novels. As luck would have it, I had this novel (which I have never seen on the television). It was a true joy! It was just like watching on the screen. In fact, I can safely say that there is not much screenwriting to be had as the novel is pretty much perfect for televising!

I have spent such a long time avoiding Agatha Christie's written works because my parents had professed a negative attitude on such works. They found her 'too descriptive'. Well, they were wrong.

I encourage lovers of mystery (especially British) to pick up this novel and immerse themselves in Ms. Christie's wonderful creation.
