Ordeal By Innocence
Agatha Christie
Arthur
Calgary has been away on an expedition outside of the country and as
a result, missed the murder trial of Mrs. Argyle, a middle age woman
at her home known as Sunny Point. Her adopted son, Jack was accused
of the murder and sentenced to prison, where he died from pneumonia.
Jack always claimed he had an alibi for the time of death, but he
couldn't prove it.
Arthur
Calgary realizes upon his return that he was the alibi and now he
feels duty bound to clear Jack's name. Although he expects the family
to feel joy and relief on his news, he is instead met with annoyance
and fear. If Jack wasn't the murderer, then someone else in the
family likely is. Not only does Calgary open a can of worms with his
revelation but the killer may strike again.
What's
not to like about Agatha Christie, right? Her books always manage to
provide a satisfying mystery no matter what the setting or crime.
Ordeal By Innocence doesn't disappoint.
Thanks
to Goodreads and HarperCollins for allowing me to read this book in
exchange for an honest review.
