Agatha Christie’s ingenious murder mystery, reissued with a striking cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers.

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...

Hercule Poirot facing a sixteen year-old case with all witnesses claiming a 'mad' woman did it, and having said 'mad' woman's child seeking the truth... it had me intrigued. Not gonna lie, I was pretty sure I knew who did it, but Agatha played me as she always does. This was fun.
