About this listen
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.

A grey cells page turner
lt's wonderful to return to listen to the Great Dame's novels, having read them decades ago. Especially pleasant is listening to the likes of Hugh Fraser and Sir David Suchet, and the fantastic Joan Hickson read them to me! Five Little Pigs was a special treat as I'd completely forgotten the devious structure of the book whereby the greatest detective in the world uses only his "little grey cells", 16-years after the murder, to read various accounts and conclude whodunit. A wonderfully novel approach to the classic whodunit, worthy of the very best of the very best herself.

Terrible editing
I can be thankful that this doesn't end with that ghastly American shouting "Audible hope you've enjoyed this recording", instead someone mutters it before Hugh Fraser has even finished the last word. Absolutely ruins the whole thing. 😡

classic Christie
An absorbing murder mystery by the Queen of Crime featuring the insightful Poirot. A very good listen indeed.
