Summary
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…

Worth listening to.
Well read and an excellent story. One of Agatha Christie’s best novels. Great plot and an interesting way of unraveling the crime.

Very engaging mystery
Listened to this on long journey to and from our holiday. Really enjoyed it. Love Poirot and made a 5 hour journey each way fly. I had seen a TV drama - but so much more detail in this audio dramatisation. Characters were really good. Really recommend this.

One of the best Agatha Christie stories.
Superb, ingenious plot - having 5 witnesses write their differing accounts of an old murder. Among her very best.

Hugh Frazer - brilliant narration
Great story, great narration and a genius last minute twist. Only spoilt by audible cutting in to soon to hope I enjoyed the book - please - let the last syllable finish first!

Great
Love this book, the characters are so well drawn, I feel as if I know them. Fiendishly tricky plot (I did not guess the culprit ) and a satisfying conclusion ( which not all Christie novels have). Hugh Frazer is wonderful as always, he is the perfect narrator.

The Best
My absolute favourite Poirot story, read superbly by the wonderful Hugh Fraser, but massive annoyance the end being cut short by the ridiculous "hope you enjoyed it" comment before the narration had finished. I want to hear Carla thank Poirot, I want to hear the devastation and realisation of the participants of events and if that wasn't the case I still want to hear every word of the story right to the end. I feel quite cheated, shame on you.

One of the best
This is one of Christie’s best plots and well paced with interesting characters . Only the end lacks a bit of drama and human reaction.

Good old-fashioned Detecting
I read the book many years ago but still got immense pleasure being read to by Hugh Fraser.
Agatha Christie stories still have the power to mesmerise, remarkably poetic & deviously clever.
Five Little Pigs lived up to all my expectations & more.
