Agatha Christie
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.

"This book was very repetitive, and I’m typically not a fan of that, but I actually really loved this one. I convinced one of my other friends to read it somehow, so I suppose that’s good.
(I also convinced them to read And Then There Were None!)"

"I liked this one. Christie likes her nursery rhymes! Not her best nursery rhyme influenced book, but a treasure nonetheless."
