Sumár recenzie
V románe Agathy Christie The Pale Horse sa dej odohráva v londýnskom prostredí 60. rokov a spúšťa ho priznanie jednej z troch spolubývajúcich, ktorá vyhľadá Hercula Poirota a tvrdí, že možno spáchala vraždu. Poirot za pomoci svojej známej spisovateľky Ariadne Oliverovej pátra po pravde o rodine danej ženy a zisťuje, či je Norma Restaricková skutočne vrahyňou alebo len psychicky zmätená, pričom vyšetrovanie zahŕňa prvky okultizmu. Príbeh sledujeme z perspektívy historika Marka Easterbrooka; v knihe vystupuje veľa postáv a recenzentka ocenila, že napriek pomalšiemu začiatku ju dej upútal najmä po vstupe postavy Ginger. Recenzia hodnotí román ako nie úplne obľúbený (2,75/5), no uznáva originálnu zápletku a prekvapivý koniec.

"Wickedness...such wickedness...."
The dying woman turned to Father Gorman with agony in her eyes. "Stopped....It must be stopped....You will...."

The priest spoke with reassuring authority. "I will do what is necessary. You can trust me."

Father Gorman tucked the list of names she had given him into his shoe. It was a meaningless list; the names were of people who had nothing in common.

On his way home, Father Gorman was murdered. But the police found the list and when Mark Easterbrook came to inquire into the circumstances of the people listed, he began to discover a connection between them, and an ominous pattern....

Every name of that list was either already dead or, he suspected, marked for murder.
