Death at the Bridge Table

Beautiful and conceited Alicia Matcham leads us through an intriguing web of deceit in search of a killer who is, bizarrely, welcomed by her family. This exciting, gripping crime novel is full of suspense and delivers a thrilling final twist. Saturday 10 June 1933, and one of Charless Whittens bridge players collapses at the table, apparently from natural causes. Charless youngest daughter Patty is convinced its murder and pleads with her sister Alicia a party girl with connections to help discover the truth. Their brother William is a penniless drunkard, their mother ingenuous, Patty nave, their father Charles all bluff and bluster and then there is John the seductive butler. It feels as though Alicia is in one of the new Agatha Christie murders: there were four people in the card room, surely one must be the murderer?
