Review

“Despite only five suspects, Mrs Christie as usual puts a ring through the reader’s nose and leads him to one of her smashing last-minute showdowns.”—Observer

“The answer to the riddle is brilliant.”—Times Literary Supplement

“A brilliant piece of detective fiction, in which character plays an important part.”—Daily Telegraph

“Straightforward bamboozling from start to finish.”—New Statesman 漂亮的卡罗琳·克雷尔被判毒杀丈夫有罪。但是还有另外五个嫌颖人：证券经纪人菲利普·布莱克；业余药划师梅雷迪斯·布莱克；三闪离婚的艾尔莎·格里尔；敬业的女家庭教师塞西莉亚·威廉斯；容貌受损的安吉拉·沃伦。

十六年过去了，波洛却不会忘记这件事……

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…
