Cards on the Table, Agatha Christie
A friendly game of cards turns deadly in this 1936 mystery. Four detectives including the famous Belgian sleuth, Hercule Poirot, set out to discover who is the killer among the guests in this very deadly 'closed room' mystery.
Cards On The Table, is the book that marked the debut of Christie's character, Mrs. Ariadne Oliver, a slightly screwball mystery writer who pops up in several Poirot books in later years. Ariadne Oliver, was often thought to be an 'alter ego' for Agatha Christie.
A mystery writer assisting a detective in solving crimes? However, Ariadne Oliver seems far more scatterbrained and much more outrageous than the more conservative and very private Dame Agatha Christie. This is a fabulously fun romp through murder and you'll need a full deck of clues to solve the case before the final pages.
