Just finished "Ordeal by Innocence" by Agatha Christie. This was her 60th novel, and was originally published in 1958.
Jacko Argyle was convicted of the murder of his adopted mother two years before, and died in prison, but now a witness comes forward who proves that Jacko was innocent. The police re-open the investigation, and what follows is a novel exploring the psychological impact on a family of the suspicions of each family member, wondering who actually committed the murder. Unlike the typical Christie detective novel, but I very much enjoyed it.
