Cards on the Table

A Hercule Poirot Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: Hugh Fraser

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.…

Confusion confusion!

I have tried to listen to this audible book at least half a dozen times !
the first couple of times I was somewhat preoccupied when I was listening , so then I would go back and re- listen go back and re-listen, but I would still find myself going back and re-listening!!
.... and honestly I've never been more disappointed with one of Agatha's stories !
the murder is definitely committed rather quickly ;before you can get A solid feel for any of the characters...and then the investigations seem to flip-flop all over the place with way too many people and too many conversations thrown into the mix.
As I've purchased this book on audible there's nothing I can do now but to hang onto it maybe someday I'll try it again but I'm already halfway through it and want to scream!
I really was looking forward to another Agatha on Audible I love listening to Hugh Frasier as he narrates.
This one just does not hold my interest at all.

Excellent twists of the twists!

Excellent in every way. The performance was awesome! The story amazing but there’s no doubt I would have enjoyed it more if I knew how to play bridge. Still a winner nonetheless!

Typical Hercule

I love Agatha Christie but I didn't love this book. I found it too dry; it could of been all the talk of cards...which I find very uninteresting. The narrator, Hugh Fraser, is absolutely superb! Hugh Fraser's narration is what kept me from stopping midway through.

One of Christie’s best, enjoyable!

I have been a fan of Christie mysteries since grade school. Involved plot, just the right amount of humor. certainly holds your interest with a satisfying conclusion!
Hugh Fraser once again delivers a believable, consistent cast of characters. I will listen to it more than once.

Baffled

This book had me topsy-turvy figuring out who did it! Due for a re-listen to catch more details!!
