It was the match-up of the century: four sleuths--Superintendent Battle of Scotland Yard; Mrs. Ariadne Oliver, famed writer of detective stories; Col. Race of His Majesty's Secret Service; and the incomparable Hercule Poirot - invited to play bridge with four specially invited guests, each of whom had gotten away with murder! But before the first rubber was completed, the host was dead.

Throws murder party
gets murdered by murderer
great planning, dumbass.
An interesting and fun read but I might have understood it more if I knew anything about bridge, which unfortunately I do not.
It's rather boring, actually...
But - it is good Agatha Christie, with twists and murders and interesting characters and all that.
I am a bit bothered by Ariadne Oliver's “If a woman was the head of Scotland Yard...” and “a woman's intuition” and all that, because it's all just rubbish.
The conclusion was also a bit of a mess... Though I remember not thinking so the first time I read it :-D Maybe it does influence one to have read a mystery before :-D It wasn't quite as intriguing this time :-D
Oh, and of course, the racism... all those dagos and white men couldn't possibly behave in any dishonorable, unmanly manner X-]
