Cards on the Table by Agatha Christie
5.0

Cards on the Table by Agatha Christie is one of my favourite Hercule Poirot mysteries! I loved the premise of four murderers and four detectives being pitted against each other at a party where the host dies.

The entire structure of the mystery was masterfully constructed with the readers getting to experience sleuthing from Poirot, Battle, and Mrs. Oliver (whom I love because it's like Agatha Christie wrote a version of herself into Poirot's world) as each tries to determine whether the four party guests truly are murders and which one is most likely to have murdered Mr. Shaitana.

Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys well constructed mysteries!
