![]() This list seem to have something in common… they’re all dead, and there’s a connection to the Pale Horse. Over in London, when Father Gorman is murdered after hearing the last rites of a woman, a list of names is discovered on his person. ‘Sooner or later,’ said Ginger, ‘ someone has got to find out exactly what happens at the Pale Horse.’ In the quaint little English village of Much Deeping, there is a very old house that used to be a pub called the Pale Horse. ![]() ![]() Our main narrator is Mark Easterbrook, an historian who finds himself caught up in an intriguing mystery. ![]() This is a standalone novel in the sense it doesn’t feature Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple. Opening sentence: There are two methods, it seems to me, of approaching this strange business of the Pale Horse. Even better, it features one of my favourite Christie characters, enigmatic novelist, Ariadne Oliver. The Pale Horse came to my attention as I heard that it’s one of the only Agatha novels that dabbles in witchcraft and the supernatural. It’s been a while since I’ve read an Agatha Christie book, so it’s very fortunate that The Pale Horse is a good one. ![]()
