- content: Geraldine James depicts renowned investigator Hercule Poirot with confidence and a delightful Belgian accent. Poirot searches for a murderer who wielded a stiletto during a bridge game. In precise, thoughtful tones, Poirot makes deductions from a collection of bridge scores left on the card table. James seamlessly switches to an impeccable British accent when Superintendent Battle enters the room. An eye-witness account is given by a window washer in a charming working-class accent. Christie fans will find the story intriguing as they follow the clues that Poirot adroitly drops as he inches toward a surprising conclusion. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine

- content: Mr. Shaitana invites Hercule Poirot and six other guests to a dinner and bridge party and then dies during the evening--stabbed through the heart without anyone noticing the actual murder. Poirot launches an investigation, which uncovers secrets the other guests would prefer to keep hidden. Hugh Fraser hides none of his talents in his delightful performance. His pacing is perfect for every scene, whether a bridge game or the race to stop a second murder. And his characterizations are better than they've ever been--Poirot is oh-so-Belgian and mannered, the police are tellingly middle class, and the killer, when revealed, has been blindingly self-confident, had we known to listen for it.

- content: This classic locked-room mystery, featuring Hercule Poirot, gets the full-cast treatment it deserves. Written between the wars, CARDS ON THE TABLE still stands high on many fans' lists of favorite cases investigated by Poirot. Further, this BBC production exhibits a love of Christie and her famously bombastic detective. The cast presents a crime scene populated by a small but memorable cast of characters who will be familiar to Poirot fans. Each actor performs well, making clear and smooth the plot device of partygoers enjoying a game of bridge. S.M.M. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
