Product Description

Review

'Wholesale murder by black magic!highly ingenious, wholly enjoyable.' Evening Standard 'The acknowledged queen of detective fiction' Observer


Product Description

A priest's death leads to sinister goings-on in an old country pub...To understand the strange goings on at The Pale Horse Inn, Mark Easterbrook knew he had to begin at the beginning. But where exactly was the beginning? Was it the savage blow to the back of Father Gorman's head? Or was it when the priest's assailant searched him so roughly he tore the clergyman's cassock? Or could it have been the priest's visit, just minutes before, to a woman on her death bed? Or was there a deeper significance to the violent squabble which Mark Easterbrook had himself witnessed earlier? Wherever the beginning lies, Mark and his sidekick, Ginger Corrigan, may soon have cause to wish they'd never found it!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of her best, 3 Jan 2009
By Ms. L. R. Fisher "lucy_fisher4" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Imagine the setting circa 1960. Mrs Christie has a sharp eye for contemporary fashions (hairstyles like birds nests, thick jumpers worn for dinner) and mores (coffee bars, flower shops that sell one bloom in masses of maidenhair). Instead of Poirot and Miss Marple, we have Mrs Oliver and Mrs Dane Calthrop (I love the way she mixed and matched detectives). The central character, Mark Easterbrook, is a serious, bookish man who stumbles across some odd happenings and begins to add two and two when he bumps into an old friend, now a forensic pathologist. The central 'case' is seen from many angles (and more than one narrator), and its elements are only linked by the mysterious phrase 'the pale horse'. It turns out to be a former pub now inhabited by three eccentric ladies of a certain age who are only too happy to tell you about their hobby - black magic. Can they possibly be linked to a list of names whose owners turn out to be rather dead? Easterbrook and a picture restorer called Ginger are determined to find out. Their search leads them from mansion flats to boarding houses to dusty offices in Birmingham to draughty country vicarages. Now read on!

2.0 out of 5 stars A flop, 12 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pale Horse (Mass Market Paperback)
I am a big A.C.fan,but I am sorry to say that this was not up to her usual standards.The plot is far too vague and fanciful.If you want to read Christie,read her classic whodunits(Poirot,Miss Marple),don't read this rubbish.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pleased when I had finished it.
I am a big Agathe Christie fan but I struggled to finish this. The plot was fine - tho' dated, but the characters were rather lifeless and I can't quite see the point of Mrs... Read more
