I’ve spent the last two months reading a dozen Agatha Christie novels, and nearly all feature a game of bridge that ends up being a crucial plot point.

The characters who suck at bridge are always way less likable than the murderer, (or “murderess”— a gendered term we should bring back, honestly) and now I need to know everything about Agatha Christie and find out whst sort of bridge drama was going down in the 1920s.
