Five Little Pigs The book features Hercule Poirot. The novel is notable as a rigorous attempt to demonstrate Poirot's repeatedly stated contention that it is possible to solve a mystery purely by reflecting upon the testimony of the participants, and without access to the scene of the crime. This was the last novel of an especially prolific phase of Christie's work on Poirot. She published thirteen Poirot novels between 1935 and 1942 out of a total of eighteen novels in that period. By contrast, she published only two Poirot novels in the next eight years, indicating the possibility that she was experiencing some frustration with her most popular character. Five Little Pigs is unusual in the way that the same events are retold from several standpoints.
There are many more that I will post as I find them.

That is one of my favourite Poirot novels. I didn't realise she wrote so many of him in such a short space of time. No wonder she was sick of him!

Yes, she really didn't like him. I have all the David Suchet stories, but very few of the radio ones, I am trying to get together a collection of them. I already have most of the Agatha Christie books.
