An eccentric rich guy called Mr. Shaitana (whose features were described as "Mephistophelean"; ha-ha dear Mrs. Christie, very funny) was a collector. To topple his own eccentricity one fateful day he decided to collect perfect (impossible to prove) murders. So he threw a party inviting four different people who committed such murders - it was not said directly, but it was strongly implied - and four investigators from different parts of investigating business. They were Mrs. Ariadne Oliver (aWell, how have I missed this one. I don't remember the book or the David Suchet TV version, and yet this was or should I say is, one of my all time favourite Poirot novels.The story is an excellent one, with all the twists and turns you can expect from the "Dame" and for the first time in a while, it also heavily features the enigmatic Poirot, as well as the delectable Ariadne Oliver.Without giving the game away, literally, the story is focussed upon a meal hosted by an unpopular man with 8
Agatha Christie never fails me ❤

It is not a proper review. I admit that I forgot the story. So far, this is the only Agatha Christie's story that I could guessed the villain correctly, based on the Bridge plays.

I hadn't read any Christie in years, though I've kept my ancient paperback copies of her books through many household moves. Picking up Cards on the Table as part of a group read reminded me why I haven't let them go.In a word, reading this was fun , pure and simple. Christie isn't brilliant at any one aspect of writing, but she's decent at all of them. And I love the pace. The plot moves along briskly without feeling rushed, and the various misdirections at the end are deliciously
Least likely person! It seems to work out in real life just the same as in books. . . - Mrs. Oliver Cards on the TableThe fact that this is a quote in the book absolutely delights me. That its played with multiple times after the quote makes it even better. Mr. Shaitana is throwing a party. There will be drinks, bridge and a bit of murder. You see, Shaitana is a collector and one of things hes collected is murderers. Not just any murderers, but the ones who have gotten away with it; the ones you
