Five Little Pigs


So let me write about a book I read this year. I will try my best to keep it spoiler free

Five Little Pigs

This book is by Agatha Christie the legendary writer. If you have read her other books you would be familiar with her writing style. Poirot and Maple are the 2 protagonists.The books are series involving one of these detectives.I have read most of her books where Poirot is the protagonist. Body in the library I think was the only book I read involving Maple.
This book is a Poirot series.I wouldn't say it was awesome as I feel I have got used to Agatha Christie's writing. Her books handle a case in a slow pace and everything is figured out at the end of the book. If you are a hardcore thriller reader then you will find her books slow paced. But her books are considered classics for a reason. All the hints dropped or rather all the dots do get connected in the end and you will be awestruck if you are reading her books for the first time. 
Here is a preview of this book. 
Five Little pigs has the narrative of a murder that took place 16 years ago.The victim's wife is accused of killing him. She later kills herself in jail after getting convicted.The narrative is really tiring to read. As it is the same set of incidents repeated five times but with a different perspective from each person. The ending will leave you content for picking this book. I would recommend this book.
You can follow my Goodreads page for more of such reviews.

The 2 books that I m currently reading are The Other Boleyn Girl by Philipha Gregory and 16 Lighthouse Road(Cedar Cove). I will write about them once I finish reading
