Audiobook narrated by Hugh Fraser.
A wonderful closed room murder mystery. Poirot is invited to a party, intrigued by the host's claim that he collects murderers. However, the host is discovered dead and the suspects are four people who were playing bridge in the same room.
- Incredibly enjoyable and peak Agatha Christie. This one had loads of little details and winding twists and I loved it. Also Ariadne Oliver appears in this one and I do enjoy her character.
- The suspect's character were really well done and I loved how the book explored how each person thought and behaved in reaction to a murder.
- The vibe was the cosy but intriguing one that I have come to associate with Christie's work. Perfect for when you want an engaging and fun mystery but less gore and clinical thinking of modern thrillers.
An excellent read. Perfect for Poirot fans and those who like a solid and winding mystery.
