"Cards on the Table by Agatha Christie 4/5 ✨ This was a pretty good mystery, some new area detectives in this one and Poirot is flying solo for once. My only pitfall with this one is that I don't know how to play bridge as it's one of the major themes in this one. Once again I did not get the murderer right, no surprise there."

"Just when I thought I had it all figured out…I didn’t. "

"Typical Poirot story full of probably red herrings & a surprise reveal that only makes sense when Poirot explains the crime & psychology & then you feel so dumb because it becomes obvious & “why didn’t I get that”."

"This is my favorite Agatha Christie. To say it blew my mind would be an understatement."

"Very good. It was cool having the four detective-minded people versus the four criminally minded people."

"Fun, but not much to separate it from the Christie pack."
