Beschrijving
Now, sixteen years later, in a posthumous letter, Mrs. Crale has assured her grown daughter that she was innocent. But instead of setting the young woman's mind at ease, the letter only raises disquieting questions. Did Caroline indeed write the truth? And if she didn't kill her husband, who did?
To find out, the Crale’s daughter asks Hercule Poirot to reopen the case. His investigation takes him deep into the conflicting memories and motivations of the five other people who were with the Crales on the fatal day. With his keen understanding of human psychology, he manages to discover the surprising truth behind the artist's death.

À un moment j ai pensé qu'elle était vrm coupable, comme c'est pas le cas, je pense que dans un autre livre d'Agatha Christie, c'est le cas. Mais trop cool le livre
I was close to figuring it out! Will I ever be able to read Christie’s mind and guess who the murderer is? I was pretty close this time. Caroline Crale reaches out to Hercule Poirot for help in uncovering the truth behind the murder of her father Amyas Crale, which occurred 16 years ago and for which her mother was convicted. There are five possible witnesses, each with a potential motive but also an alibi. Will Poirot be able to discover the truth? Is Caroline Crale ready to learn what really happened? It’s absolutely marvelous. Interestingly, the title has almost nothing to do with the book, but it’s still a nice touch.
A pesar de tener un final que sorprende y engancharme con todo el tema de la psicología humana, no puedo darle más puntuación. Se hace un libro pesado repitiendo tanto lo que sucedió hace 16 años, dejando pequeñas pistas que te hacen dudar de los cinco "cerditos." Sin duda es una historia buena, pero de la forma en que está escrita hace que se haga pesada y algo aburrida
