Five Little Pigs

Agatha Christie is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in English with another billion in 100 foreign languages. She is the most widely published author of all time and in any language, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels written under the name of Mary Westmacott.Agatha Christie's first novel, The Mystery Affair of Styles, was written towards the end of the First World War, in which she served as a VAD. In it she created Hercule Poirot, the little Belgian detective who was destined to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. It was eventually published by The Bodley Head in 1920.In 1926, after averaging a book a year, Agatha Christie wrote her masterpiece. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was the first of her books to be published by Collins and marked the beginning of an author-publisher relationship which lasted for 50 years and well over 70 books. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was also the first of Agatha Christie's books to be dramatised - under the name Alibi - and to have a successful run in London's West End. The Mousetrap, her most famous play of all, opened in 1952 and is the longest-running play in history.Agatha Christie was made a Dame in 1971. She died in 1976, since when a number of books have been published posthumously: the bestselling novel Sleeping Murder appeared later that year, followed by her autobiography and the short story collection Miss Marple's Final Cases, Problem at Pollensa Bay and While the Light Lasts. In 1998 Black Coffee was the first of her plays to be novelised by another author, Charles Osborne.(from the first pages of Agatha Christie's paperbacks published by HarperCollins)

Beautiful Caroline Crale as 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 Poirot just can't get that nursery rhyme out of his mind...

'Mrs. Christie as usual puts a ring through the reader's nose and leads them to one of her smashing last-minute showdowns.'

--Observer

读后感

阿婆的小说，很多都是从作案动机入手的，纵观这五只小猪，有动机的似乎有三个，但这里面主观上有意愿嫁祸给卡罗琳的却只有一人，于是答案就很明了了。但猜中了又何妨？五只小猪加上死者六个人之间错综复杂的感情关系实在是戳中泪点，六个活生生的形象，不得不叹服阿婆功力实在...  

我曾经一直认为这是一个令人发指的故事，无论是表面上的真相，还是被波洛先生最终揭示出来的真相，都是令人难以接受的。爱人相残，最悲惨的还不完全是生命的消逝，而是我们原本就已经感觉飘忽的爱情，在动荡的世界里，不但不能成为我们心灵的归宿，反而成为了我们生命的终结者...  

用户评价

放不下的一本书。作者很喜欢写出轨的艺术家吧

一个年轻的姑娘，试图介入年长者的婚姻，却失败了。这个男人是个艺术家。让人悲伤的故事。好在这男人是个自我又傲慢的艺术家，而这个小姑娘，貌美放纵，将青春放在手上燃烧，仿佛世界都要臣服于她。罗生门的结构，谈人性多过诡计，维多利亚时代的人生哲学，以及格言大全。这些都很好，但我还是觉得很悲伤。

特别尤其的爱这篇~
