521. The Pale Horse (Agatha Christie)

Synopsis from Amazon:
Was it really the Thomasina Tuckerton -- dropout heiress turned bohemian beat girl -- seen in a cafe brawl with another woman? Her obituary confirms it. Thomasina's unfortunate demise would have passed unnoticed if it hadn't been for the priest who suffered a fatal blow at the hand of a stranger only days later. What's the connection? A list of names hidden in Father Gorman's shoes -- among them, Miss Tuckerton's. It leads to a former country inn, now a house called, The Pale Horse, and a sinister pattern woven by three unusual ladies -- a psychic, a medium, and a witch -- each with a secret of her own.
