The pale horse by Agatha Christie

Or "A pale horse", I don't know which one is more correct.
There is no known investigator in this book, only a known character... well known only to those who have read certain Christie's books: Ariadne Oliver. :-) Funny lady, nice.
It's a nice book, of course, well written as expected, but I prefer when there is a clear investigation of any kind and possibly a real investigator, not just a guy who got curious and started poking around. It's interesting, but not captivating as some of her other works. It has the murder of a priest and a phrase said by a dumb girl, casually during a conversation: to get rid of someone, there's the Pale Horse... Mark Easterbrook, a friend of Ariadne, gets curious, finds the place called the Pale Horse where three women are said to be witches, and apparently can get rid of anyone you want for you... at the right price. He will be helped by a brave girl and ultimately by a cop and the murderer will be found, and anyone who likes to watch Criminal Minds will not be too surprised by his name. I'll leave a clue at the end, not the name, but read it at your own risk :-p
"the unsub is looking for recognition and will inject himself into the investigation" :lol:
