[editar] Resumo

Uma jovem procura Hercule Poirot em busca de ajuda. Seu pai, Amyas Crale, pintor famoso, foi envenenado e sua mãe, julgada e condenada por este crime, morreu na prisão. Antes de morrer, a mãe deixa uma carta a sua filha Caroline de apenas cinco anos de idade, onde afirma a sua inocência. A jovem agora pretende casar mas, antes disso, quer provar a inocência da mãe. Hercule Poirot aceita a missão, partindo de uma cantiga de ninar inglesa – Os Cinco Porquinhos, que dá título à obra -, para desvendar um crime acontecido há 16 anos atrás.
