I went into The Pale Horse without much hope that I would enjoy it - I'm down to the last 8 (now 7) Christie novels, and I'm reserving the ones that I thought would be the best bets for enjoyment to the end.

I liked the protagonist. The supporting cast was serviceable, though not impressive. It was an easy, quick read. The surprise ending was, in retrospect, quite plausible. So I give this a thumbs-up for mystery lovers.
