Sixteen years after Caroline Crale has been convicted of the murder of her husband, Amyas Crale, her daughter, Carla Lemarchant, approaches Poirot to investigate the case. Poirot embarks optimistically upon an unprecedented challenge, but soon fears that the case may be as cut and dried as it had first appeared.

This novel was previously known as Murder in Retrospect.

A Book of a Cold Case

4 žvaigždutės

I love mysteries, but I always love looking at them from more 'novel' perspectives that are so rarely used. In this instance, it's that Hercule Poirot has to solve the murder of a painter from sixteen years ago after being commissioned by the painter's daughter to learn the truth.

Because so much of the book takes place in interviews and narratives, it really gives a different perspective to the ways that a crime can be solved. This book relies almost chiefly upon uncovering which person told a key lie and recognising that all people understand an event differently (even if they all agree with the same result). This really was truly enjoyable.

Though, it's so odd because I could see the version from the Poirot show with David Suchet as I read it, but that didn't lessen how good I thought this book was.
