Five Little Pigs
Amyas Crale's passion for painting and women made him famous. His murder made him infamous. Sixteen years earlier his jealous wife was tried, convicted and sentenced to life for a notorious slaying. Now their daughter Carla, a young woman convinced her mother is innocent, has presented Hercule Poirot with a brilliant challenge: to clear her mother's name by returning to the scene of the murder and finding the fatal flaw in the perfect crime.
This was the first of five novels that Christie wrote concerning a murder in retrospect. The novel is dedicated to Professor Glanville, who persuaded the author to write Death Comes as the End. Christie adapted the novel for the stage in a play entitled Go Back for Murder. Hercule Poirot was eliminated as a character in the play. David Suchet starred in the ITV television adaptation in 2003.
What fans say

It's an academic problem, removed from the emotion of the moment, and his precise, fastidious nature shows itself to the fore. It's text book Christie and recommended to anyone, Simple, pared down to basics, fantastic use of logic and language - just very, very effective. " Read more
