Description

In Agatha Christie’s classic, Five Little Pigs, beloved detective Hercule Poirot races to solve a case from out of the past.

Beautiful Caroline Crale was convicted of poisoning her husband, but just like the nursery rhyme, there were five other “little pigs” who could have done it: Philip Blake (the stockbroker), who went to market; Meredith Blake (the amateur herbalist), who stayed at home; Elsa Greer (the three-time divorcée), who had her roast beef; Cecilia Williams (the devoted governess), who had none; and Angela Warren (the disfigured sister), who cried all the way home.

Sixteen years later, Caroline’s daughter is determined to prove her mother’s innocence, and Poirot just can’t get that nursery rhyme out of his mind.

    Just when you thought you have the mystery solved Dame Agatha pulls the rug out from under you! What a brilliant book. I loved the unique format and the road to solve this murder.

    Hands down one of the best immersive mysteries ever written. You walk in 5 potential murderers shoes. All the clues are there for the right answer if you can pick them out.

    This is a mystery that leaves you guessing. Agatha Christie, the Queen of Crime, has done it again. A masterfully written story with just enough twists and turns, this book truly is perfect.

    All the best things in a Poirot. Seen from many angles without a lot of ridiculous side steps. Timeless and fun.
