Items related to Ordeal By Innocence: Agatha Christie
Published to tie-in with the new BBC TV adaptation. A man died for a crime he didn’t commit ... and the murderer is still among them.
No one felt sorry when Jacko Argyle died in prison. Everyone knew he had bludgeoned his mother to death with a poker from the fire.
But when a doctor turns up at the house two years later with proof of Jacko's innocence, the whole family is horrified. Because it can mean only one thing – that their mother's killer is still among them...
Ordeal by Innocence was cited by Agatha Christie in An Autobiography as one of her favourite novels, a detective story which plays on the shock of an innocent man's conviction and its impact on his family.
Following the success of And Then There Were None and The Witness for the Prosecution, a brand new adaptation by Sarah Phelps for the BBC shines new light on one of Agatha Christie’s darkest and most accomplished whodunits.
The 2018 three-part BBC drama stars Bill Nighy, Anthony Boyle, Anna Chancellor, Morven Christie, Crystal Clarke, Christian Cooke, Alice Eve, Matthew Goode, Ella Purnell, Eleanor Tomlinson and Luke Treadaway.

Review:
About the Author:
‘Family tensions and suspicions are adroitly handled, and the solution is characteristically surprising’
New York Times
‘Has the particular distinction of presenting a new temporary detective in place of Poirot or Miss Marple.’
New York Herald Tribune Book Review
‘Once more Mrs Christie’s skill in puzzle-making and storytelling is so consummate that we never think of missing the little Belgian octogenarian’ Anthony Boucher, New York Times
Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became the best-selling novelist in history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, the most popular detective since Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime and her works have sold over two billion copies – 80 crime books, 30 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.
