A chilling case from the past resurfaces, and only Hercule Poirot can uncover the truth.
Sixteen years ago, Caroline Crale was found guilty of poisoning her husband. Beautiful, tragic, and condemned, she left behind a single, haunting question: was she truly guilty?
Now, Hercule Poirot is determined to dig into the long-cold case. Five other suspects could just as easily have committed the crime—each one with motive and means. There’s Philip Blake, the sharp-witted stockbroker; his brother Meredith, an eccentric herbalist; Elsa Greer, a glamorous woman with a scandalous past; Cecilia Williams, the loyal governess; and Angela Warren, the spirited sister with a scarred face and secrets of her own.
But as Poirot begins to untangle the web of memories, lies, and long-buried truths, a familiar nursery rhyme echoes in his mind... and its eerie rhythm might just be the key to cracking the case.
Elegant, twisted, and utterly compelling, Five Little Pigs is Agatha Christie at her psychological best.
