As it always happens with Agatha Christie, I was absolutely sure that this time I guessed the murderer correctly. And, as always, I DID NOT! 

The story follows Carla Lemarchant, who learns from her aunt and uncle that her mother, Caroline Craile, died in prison for poisoning her father, the renowned painter Amyas Craile. In a letter written before her death, Caroline insists on her innocence.

Carla wants to know what exactly happened 16 years ago. That’s why she turns to Hercule Poirot to help uncover the truth. Poirot interviews the five witnesses to the murder and uses the nursery rhyme to organize his thoughts regarding the investigation.

🐷 The little piggy who went to market is Philip Blake, a stockbroker and the best friend of Amyas.

🐷 Meredith Blake, the herbalist, is the little piggy who stayed home.

🐷 The little piggy who had roast beef is Elsa Greer, Amyas’s lover and model.

🐷 The governess Cecilia Williams represents the little piggy who had none,

🐷 And the little piggy who cried "Wee! Wee! Wee!" all the way home is Angela Warren, Caroline’s younger half-sister and an archaeologist. 

The book's structure is unique compared to other works by Christie that I read, as it tells the same story from multiple perspectives, adding new details and complicating the plot. While, in my opinion, it's not her best work, “Five Little Pigs” is still a well-crafted mystery that will blow your mind.
