Ordeal by Innocence: A Review

Elliptical Rating: 4 / 5

Note: I received a promotional copy through the First Reads program.

I've read several by Christie and this one holds up pretty well against the others. It's certainly one of the faster-paced novels I've read by her. In the absence of a dominant detective (Poirot, Marple) she does a good job of juggling the different characters. The solution makes sense.  The ending is cute, but a bit silly.  

(I don't like the cover, as there are seven suspects. Not a factor in the rating though.)
