After an elderly priest was killed after hearing a dying confession from a female patient, the police found a mysterious list on his body and discovered that the people on the list had died of various diseases. It all seems to point to a place called the Gray Horse Hotel, where three witches claim to be able to use magic to cause natural death. Mr. Easterbrook, who did not believe in evil, decided to give it a try himself. Soon, what he was most worried about happened...

After many months, I finally took a break from my busy schedule to read another book!
Hey! As expected, the lovers finally got married in the classic granny style. At the end, Jinjier's line "If you want to go to the old Victoria Theater in the future, you have to come with me" is so cool! I like this wise and brave girl so much!
Let's talk about the reasoning. It was really unexpected when solving the puzzle, but it was reasonable. It was not that I had no doubts before. In fact, the clues were there, but I still couldn't catch them despite having some brains but not much. And I have to lament my grandma's avant-garde thinking.
Finally, I still want to say that we have seen too many cyanide poisonings on weekdays, and the unique poisonings in classic works are interesting!
Mark and Jinjier are another couple, happy and sweet. I really thought it was some mysterious witchcraft and followed other people's thoughts, but it turned out to be completely wrong.
People always want to attract other people's attention, but it is really terrible to take other people's lives for your own selfish purposes. Controlling other people's life and death is cruel and cold-blooded.
Agatha Christie really knew how to tell stories and completely immersed me in that mysterious world. And the characters in the book are also very interesting, especially Mr. Easterbrook, whose courage and curiosity impressed me very much. I think this book is perfect for people who like mystery and mystery stories, like me!
The reversal is very unexpected
The foreshadowing ahead is too long
Agatha's classic technique
It's quite beautiful, with delicate and natural descriptions, the spread of light and dark lines, and a fast pace.
