Ordeal by Innocence

I recently watched the Amazon Prime Video version of Ordeal by Innocence and thought it could not be accurate to Agatha Christie’s book. So I read it, and I was right. The book is far superior. The characters are the same—five adopted children, their father, two employees, a spouse, and a man that throws everything into turmoil when he alibis the accused murderer of Rachel Argyle, their mother. However, the motives, personalities, and actions are significantly different, and Christie does not have to rely on shock or disgust to weave her tale or entertain her reader. Ordeal isn’t my favorite Christie mystery, but it did leave me wondering who done it.
