![]() ![]() Greatest strengths: Agatha Christie is especially talented at foreshadowing (not to be confused with telegraphing), and in The Pale Horse, it comes in the way of Macbeth. ![]() For a price, they’ll eliminate anyone you want - and there’s no way you (or anyone else) will ever be tied to the crime ![]() The gist: Three mysterious spinsters living in a small village claim to have supernatural powers. Opening scene: Mark is hanging out at a coffee shop when two young ladies get into a nasty fight in which one pulls the other’s hair out by the roots - an achievement that ultimately becomes a major clue in Mark’s upcoming (and very disturbing) adventures Thyrza, Sybil, and Bella, three creepy spinsters with creepy names that (unfortunately) no one takes very seriously Most interesting characters: Mark Easterbrook, a pretty typical dude who finds himself embroiled in a mystery with supernatural undercurrents. My favorite quote: “The science of tomorrow is the supernatural of today.” ![]()
