Why read it?
1 author picked The Pale Horse as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Those who think of Agatha Christie as a “soft” crime writer need to look at her books again. She qualified as a pharmacist during WWI, and she made good use of her knowledge of poisons in her novels.
