In Agatha Christie's ingenious mystery, "Five Little Pigs," Hercule Poirot tackles a sixteen-year-old cold case. Carla Lemarchant approaches the famed Belgian detective, convinced her mother, Caroline Crale, was wrongly imprisoned for the murder of her artist father, Amyas Crale. Poirot meticulously re-examines the past, interviewing the five individuals present on the fateful day, each a 'pig' from the nursery rhyme: the solicitor, the governess, the artist's assistant, the devoted sister, and the alluring student. As each person recounts their version of events, a complex tapestry of love, jealousy, and betrayal emerges, forcing Poirot to sift through conflicting testimonies and long-held secrets to unearth the truth and finally bring justice to a decades-old crime.
