London, Collins Crime Club, 1958
A slightly more socio-psychological experiment in crime fiction by the undisputed grande dame of the genre, receiving mixed reviews upon publication but being more favourably reconsidered in later years. Christie herself considered Ordeal by Innocence one of her favourites.
