About this listen
A dark offering from the Queen of Crime.
This represents the world-famous author’s most successful foray into the dark world of murder and black magic.
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…

One of the best later Christie stories
An extremely clever and engaging story from beginning to end. It has a wonderful atmosphere and some entertaining characters, among them the somewhat laconic protagonist - although his poise is broken by the thrilling denouement of the mystery!
Ariadne Oliver and several other characters who "cross over" between Miss Marple and Poirot are also present, along with some new ones who evoke the lost time and place where the story is set wonderfully.
