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. In Five Little Pigs, Poirot revisits the case of beautiful Caroline Crale, who was convicted of poisoning her husband. With each murder, the killer is getting more confident-but leaving a trail of deliberate clues to taunt the proud Hercule Poirot might just prove to be the first, and fatal, mistake.

Hercule Poirot, Agatha Christie’s redoubtable Belgian sleuth, returns to solve another three bedeviling murder mysteries.
