Ordeal by Innocence Book

"That was the trouble with people who had no legal sense of discretion. They insisted on saying things which were much better not said."

Every time Christie makes her stories revolve around a big and extraordinarily dysfunctional family, I invariably find myself utterly spellbound. The same happened with Appointment With Death; but the mystery in the latter was certainly more satisfying, as I see it. I would have liked -and expected- a more imaginative solution, I think.

In brief, not one of Christie's best, but, in its own and unique way, interesting nonetheless.
