reviewed on + 813 more book reviews


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!
