Reseña de Five Little Pigs

Five Little Pigs de Agatha Christie Resumen del Libro

Agatha Christie’s ingenious murder mystery, reissued with a striking cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers.

Beautiful Caroline Crale was convicted of poisoning her husband, yet there were five other suspects: Philip Blake (the stockbroker) who went to market; Meredith Blake (the amateur herbalist) who stayed at home; Elsa Greer (the three-time divorcee) who had roast beef; Cecilia Williams (the devoted governess) who had none; and Angela Warren (the disfigured sister) who cried ‘wee wee wee’ all the way home.

It is sixteen years later, but Hercule Poirot just can’t get that nursery rhyme out of his mind…

Reviews

“The answer to the riddle is brilliant.” Times Literary Supplement

“A brilliant piece of detective fiction, in which character plays an important part.” Daily Telegraph

“Straightforward bamboozling from start to finish.” New Statesman

“As usual, Mrs Christie hoaxes us with a double twist at the denouement, and provides excellent entertainment.” Punch

She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in over 100 foreign countries.
