I really enjoyed this Agatha Christie adventure. There is no Poirot, Marple or Tommy & Tuppence. Ariadne Oliver makes a brief but important cameo. Although this is a murder mystery, it doesn't play by the golden age of mystery rules.
Mark Easterbrook, writer and academic, is living the dream in London but he is oh so bored until he hears about the Pale Horse and 3 local witches. Suddenly he finds himself embroiled in the occult and a mysterious string of murders.
