    Fun read of finding a killer out of the 'five little pigs' and solving a murder case that occurred 16 years ago! The fact that the case in question is so far away from time takes away the excitement and made it much less thrilling in my view, but what we have instead is a nice little murder mystery piece with focus on the five key suspects' psychological behaviour rather than relying solely on hard evidence. And there was also a nice little twist at the end which I never guessed!

  • My thoughts

    Not only can Poirot solve a recent crime, but he can solve one sixteen years later! I liked how he knew how to behave with each person, making him or her feel comfortable enough to share what they saw and believed.
