Five Little Pigs by Agatha Christie
3.75
“A court verdict is not always an ending”
the story pans out 16 years after the murder in question, long after the trial and verdict when the daughter of the accused reaches out to Poirot with a letter hinting at her mother’s innocence. determined to uncover the truth, poirot revisits the crime by contacting the five people who were present at the scene. he requests written accounts of their memories from that day, piecing together their perspectives.
though it falls on the simpler side of agatha christie’s mysteries, five little pigs showcases her unmatched skill in captivating readers with clever plotting!!
the title is a clever nod to the nursery rhyme, with each "pig" symbolizing one of the five suspects, whose differing accounts and motives add depth to the story!
definitely recommend and honestly this might be a good pick if you are starting your journey with the Queen of Mystery!
