There's just enough pointers in the dialogue and in the use of music to hint that the setting is the late 50's, which I think helps with the atmosphere. The story doesn't really lend itself to a full book, which is probably why it works so well here as a dramatisation. I think she brings a sense of exasperation, muddle-headedness and practical common sense to the role - which I think suits the character well. The red-haired Tomazina Tuckerton responds to expressions of sympathy that she. The main protagonist, Mark Easterbrook, is played with a convincing mix of suavity and inquisitiveness by Jeremy Clyde, and Ariadne Oliver (here more than ever obviously based on AC herself) is brought to life superbly by Stephanie Cole. Short summary - The Pale Horse Agatha Christie. This was one of Agatha Christie's later books and generally they aren't as involving or convincing as those from the 30's or 40's, but I'm happy to say that I think this one bucks the trend. The Pale Horse is a mystery novel written by acclaimed author Agatha Christie and first published in the United Kingdom in 1961.
