Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Jacko Argyle é detido sob alegação de que teria assassinado sua mãe em um surto de loucura, sendo condenado à prisão perpétua. Dois anos depois, surge uma prova, encontrada pelo doutor Arthur Calgary, de que o preso é inocente, mas a descoberta chega tarde demais: Jacko morre atrás das grades. Os achados do doutor reabrem as feridas dos membros da família, que passam a encarar uns aos outros com desconfiança e suspeita, assombrados com a possibilidade de que o verdadeiro assassino ainda esteja entre eles.

    “Justice is, after all, in the hands of men and men are fallible.”

    A solid Christie book, I love her dysfunctional and secretive families, and this one was an intriguing mystery that kept me guessing till almost the end. I managed to crack the case (one of the few that I was able to do so) a couple of chapters before the end mainly because I was really paying attention and because I read the whole thing in a day, so every tiny detail was still fresh on my mind. I plan to read more of Christie's books this year since I've only read one in 2020 and I have the personal goal of reading all of her books.
