Cards on the Table (Hercule Poirot Series)

by Agatha Christie Narrated by Hugh Fraser

Overview

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....
