Agatha Christie’s The Pale Horse is an enjoyable mystery, though not her best work. As with most of her novels, readers know exactly what they’re in for: a twisty, suspenseful ride with high stakes. Christie excels at building tension and keeping readers guessing until the very end, and The Pale Horse delivers on that front. While the story may not rank among her most iconic works, it’s still a fun read. Christie’s trademark clever plotting and the eerie atmosphere make it a worthwhile addition to any mystery lover’s bookshelf. Overall, The Pale Horse is a solid four out of five stars—a good example of Christie’s writing that any fan of hers would appreciate. It may not be the pinnacle of her career, but there’s no such thing as a Christie novel not worth reading!
