A famous painter is murdered. Who did it - his wife of course. Then 16 years later their daughter hires Hercule Poirot to clear her mother's name of committing the "perfect crime". Another great Agatha Christie story.
This book was also published as Five Little Pigs (Hercule Poirot Book 2).

Poirot must solve a 16 year old murder for which there was a conviction. An artist was poisoned; his wife convicted; but was she guilty? From a description of his work, he deserved it on that count alone. Everything points to a proper verdict. There are five other possible suspects, thus the alternate titles reference to a childs toe game. Each recounts their recollection of the dastardly event. Poirot must find the flaw in the evidence. Who will go wee, wee, wee to jail? See if you can beat him to the punch!
