Mengungkit Pembunuhan - Agatha Christie Selama hidupnya, Carla Lemarchant dibayangi dosa ibunya, Caroline Crale, atas kematian ayahnya, Amyas Crale. Kedua orangtuanya telah pergi dengan nasib mengerikan akibat kematian ayahnya. Dua puluh tahun berlalu, Carla memutuskan memperjuangkan nama ibunya agar bersih, sehingga dia bisa memulai hidupnya bersama pujaan hatinya. Hercule Poirot menjadi satu-satunya harapan Carla untuk mengungkap mengapa ayahnya terbunuh. Perjuangannya dimulai sejak Carla membaca surat dari mendiang ibunya yang mati dalam penjara. Surat yang dibuat Caroline sejak hakim memutuskannya bersalah itu menegaskan jika dia tidak bersalah. Selama menjalankan tugasnya, Hercule Poirot bertemu sekian banyak orang yang mempercayai jika Caroline membunuh Amyas, hanya karena kehadiran gadis muda yang mengancam pernikahan keduanya, Elsa Greer. Mengungkit Pembunuhan merupakan karya Agatha Christie yang diterjemahkan dari Five Little Pigs. Judul Mengungkit Pembunuhan diambil dari judul sebelumnya karya ini, Murder in Retrospect. Kisah ini juga merupakan masa pertengahan Poirot, saat dia masih berada di era primanya. Kisah ini mencampur aduk semua hal klise dalam cerita detektif — pembunuhan dengan racun, kematian pelukis, perselingkuhan, dan istri yang cemburu. Namun kecerdasan Agatha Christie berhasil membuat semua orang ikut yakin jika Caroline memang membunuh suaminya. Nyatanya, Amyas dan Caroline tetap hidup dan pembunuhnyalah yang mati. no reviews | add a review

HTML: In Agatha Christie's classic, Five Little Pigs, beloved detective Hercule Poirot races to solve a case from out of the past. Beautiful Caroline Crale was convicted of poisoning her husband, but just like the nursery rhyme, there were five other "little pigs" who could have done it: Philip Blake (the stockbroker), who went to market; Meredith Blake (the amateur herbalist), who stayed at home; Elsa Greer (the three-time divorcée), who had her roast beef; Cecilia Williams (the devoted governess), who had none; and Angela Warren (the disfigured sister), who cried all the way home. Sixteen years later, Caroline's daughter is determined to prove her mother's innocence, and Poirot just can't get that nursery rhyme out of his mind. No library descriptions found. |
