Cards on the Table

Mr. Shaitana is a mysterious and wealthy collector with a sinister hobby—gathering people who may have gotten away with murder. He invites Hercule Poirot to an unusual dinner party with four detectives and four guests he believes to be killers.

During the evening, the guests split into groups to play bridge. But by the end of the night, Mr. Shaitana is found dead in his chair, stabbed. With all four suspects having both motive and opportunity, Poirot must uncover which of them turned deadly once again.

Cards on the Table is a classic Agatha Christie mystery that emphasizes psychology over physical clues, highlighting Poirot’s unmatched ability to read human nature.
