Fiction by Agatha Christie
Father Gorman is called from the local Catholic church to hear the last confession of a dying woman and leaves her house troubled and preoccupied. He doesn't even hear the person who sneaks up behind him on the way home and bludgeons him to death.
Meanwhile, Mark Easterbrook has been hearing of The Pale Horse, a mysterious place where they claim to be able to get rid of anyone you might want out of the way, without ever even going near them. It's like magic, they say; available for a price, of course.
What do these two things have in common? And is it really possible that someone can be killed by magic?
This is a classic Agatha Christie story with an ending you won't suspect, and NO detective either.
I also read recently by this author: Miss Marple: the Complete Short Stories
