In Agatha Christie’s classic mystery, Cards on the Table, the wily Hercule Poirot is on the case when a bridge night turns deadly

Mr. Shaitana is famous as a flamboyant party host. Nevertheless, he is a man of whom everybody is a little afraid. So when he boasts to Hercule Poirot that he considers murder an art form, the detective has some reservations about accepting a party invitation to view Shaitana’s “private collection.”

Indeed, what begins as an absorbing evening of bridge is to turn into a more dangerous game altogether.…

great characters, great story, and a great detective. one of my favorite Hercule books. the ending had me guessing till the final page.

A Tiger Did It

Would you consider the audio edition of Cards on the Table to be better than the print version?

I haven't yet read the print edition, but I very much enjoyed Hugh Fraser's performance.

What did you like best about this story?

The limited pool of suspects made for an interesting whodunnit.

Which scene was your favorite?

The end of a Christie book is always a favorite.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I chuckled in a few places, mostly due to Mr. Fraser's charming voices.

Couldn't stop listening!

The good news: Christie never disappoints. The bad news: I wanted to listen to this in one sitting and not get anything else done! This was suspenseful to the last minute. You think you know who the killer is about three times and you keep being wrong!

Best One Yet

I am working my way through all of the Hercule books. This has been my favorite to date! Plot was so good intriguing the entire time.

Excellent Story and Narration

Agatha doesn’t disappoint with this unique story and Hugh Fraser’s narration is terrific, as usual.
