I am listening to the audiobook. I also have the paperback.I have to say I really enjoy the audioplays. I find that sometimes narrators can't get all the voices quite right and this way too there's little chance of mixing everybody up. The story itself, I had forgotten who did it. I kept imaging...

I am a HUGE fan of both Agatha Christie and Hercule Poirot. This book is no exception. It was a great book, well written and the mystery, as usual, kept me puzzled until the end. My reason for the low stars really has nothing to do with the book and more to do with the fact that I know less than ...

Only four suspects, who could it be? This is one of Dame Agatha's books where she adeptly uses the narrative trick, as she's never used it before. You'd think that from four suspects you could easily pick out who did it. I guessed, and rationalized, because I really want to point out the murderer fo...

Looks good for a Sunday afternoon. When a murderer strikes during a game of bridge, Poirot happens to be one of the guests.

What I learned from this book: Don't mess with Hercule Poirot. He can pull out the guilty party every time, always after a sufficient number of red herrings have been produced. A good read, as always, from one of my favorite authors.

These three were in a five-novel collection. The funny thing is, the plot of Cards on the Table is mentioned in one of the other books. I think it’s Thirteen to Dinner. Anyway, it made their being collected together a bit more interesting. [Aug. 2010]

I read this a few years ago. It is a Poirot mystery. Very good one I thought, an interesting puzzle with a twist at the end as Dame Agatha keeps us guessing between 4 suspects who commit a murder during a game of bridge. I don't recall which edition I read, so I picked the one indicated here because...

Esta fue la primera novela de Agatha Christie que leí en mi vida, tenía 11 años cuando lo encontré en la biblioteca de mi abuelo. Después de eso no pude parar y devoré todos los libros donde aparecía Poirot. Fue él el responsable de que me preocupara por mi inteligencia por primera vez, es él el res...
