susieliston 's review for:

Ordeal by Innocence by Agatha Christie
3.0

This is a stand-alone, and I can't say that I loved it. It's a little bleak, and the ending was not terribly satisfying, but it's still better than 90% of what I've read lately in the thriller/mystery category.

Update, 2023
Wow, I just listened to the audio of this, (have never finished watching the TV version) and although I did sort of figure out whodunit I didn't actually know because I had no idea I'd read it already. Did I completely forget about this in only four years? Talk about dead brain cells...)

Note: The 2018 TV version has the same characters and setup, but alters some of the characterizations and completely changes whodunnit. So if you've watched it you can still be surprised by the book, and vice versa.
