The wealthy Argyll family is trying to move on after the brutal murder of their mother, heiress Rachel Argyll. Jack, one of her five adopted children, was arrested and imprisoned for the murder, and it seemed clear he was guilty. Within six months he had died in prison.
But, as Rachel's widower Leo prepares to remarry, a man called Arthur Calgary turns up at the family's estate at Sunny Point and drops a bombshell. He is Jack's long-lost alibi. But if Jack really was innocent, who killed Rachel?
Agatha Christie's Ordeal by Innocent was published in 1958 and was one of the author's favourite novels. It was previously adapted as a 1985 movie starring Donald Sutherland, Christopher Plummer and Sarah Miles.
